Custom profile fields currently have 3 view permissions that control who can see the user information on the user's profile:

• Not visible - For private data only viewable by administrators
• Visible to user - For private data only viewable by the user and by administrators
• Visible to everyone

It would be useful to have another two permissions 'Visible to teachers' and 'Visible to parents' that allows Moodle course teachers and parents to see a particular field on a student's profile.

For example, if a student has declared a disability, a field could contain the reasonable adjustments that staff are expected to make for that student. Anyone on a course with edit rights could then see that profile field, as well as parents of that student, but other students could not.

This is not similar to MDL-45242, which is instead asking for custom profile fields to be used as the user identity under User Policies. This ticket is about who can see the field, not which is set as the user identity. My last ticket MDL-59587 was closed as a duplicate, when the ticket is unrelated, so I'm re-raising this, so it can be considered for development. 

Thank you.
