Help with Darkvision and Dynamic Lighting

Hello everyone, First time posting here so forgive me if this is in the long thread; however I did take a look to see if anyone had a similar issue but couldn't see it. I have an Elf who has Darkvision; who can naturally see up to 60ft in without the use of Light, and I have my other party members who cannot, I would like to know if its possible to allow the Darkvision Elf to be able to see enemies on the board (who are hiding in the darkness) without emitting any light and have it so the other party members cannot, this way the Elf can actually use his Darkvision in a more realisitc way, as opposed to having everyone have shared vision, If it's not possible that's fair enough but I figured it would be worth asking, Thank you
Hi Ben, the answer is Yes, you can. You go into the settings of your Elf's TOKEN and on the Dynamic Lighting tab of the token and turn on Vision and Night Vision and give the distance as 60. If the advanced dynamic lighting is not on for your game yet, then you can do the same thing on the Advanced tab by putting 60 into the first "EMITS Light" distance box, leave the "All players can see light" unchecked and ensure the "Has Sight" box is checked
"If the advanced dynamic lighting is not on for your game yet, then you can do the same thing on the Advanced tab by putting 60 into the first "EMITS Light" distance box, leave the "All players can see light" unchecked and ensure the "Has Sight" box is checked" Just to add to this - if you set the ' (optional) Start of Dim ' box to -5 this will give the effect of half light in darkness, full light in dim light.
