Description
GA number of passwordunmask fields should (in some situations) be hidden from admins, e.g. if you don't want Moodle admins to know the passwords for, e.g.:
- auth_cas | bind_pw
- enrol_database | dbpass
- logstore_database | dbpass
There's cases where admins do set these values via the Moodle UI, and in those cases it should be visible.
One flexible way to do this is to prevent the value of passwordunmask fields from being populated if the value is hard-coded in config.php
