We are creating a way for certain non admin users to view user information. These users will not have rights to edit the module but they will be able to search and export using the normal interface.
We have set up profile fields that are for the site owners only, we don't want the normal users to see this information. These fields are set to not visible.
Most of the updating is done by a series of DynReg form but there are some modules that uses the core user management controls. To prevent the users from seeing the 'site owner' additional profile fields, they have to be set to not visible.
Some of the profile fields (the ones set not visible) are only updated by 'site owner' users. Not by the user who the profile is about.
So in the DUD instances we want to control the visibility of the profile fields by who can edit the DUD settings. Similar to the way people who can edit DynReg modules can use the non visible profile fields.
Hope this explains what we are trying to do.
