      When working on global Moodle courses, it would be very useful for a tutor to see what timezone their student is in so as to be able to better support them. At the moment this isn't possible as the timezone of a user doesn't show on their profile, so only admins can see what timezones a user is in.

      Having an admin option to allow timezone to be visible or not in the users profile - and if set to yes, then it shows up, if set to no, then it doesn't show up.
