Comment (by megainfo):

 My suggestion is to add new vibility levels called ""Admin only".

 '''Fields with "Admin only" vibility level are Viwed & Edited by
 administrators only.'''
 ie: Fields are hidden from all members except admins.


 "Admin only" fields can be used in 2 cases :

 - Certain profiles fields viewable & editable by admin only :
 In many cases, admin want create fields and make them visible & editable
 only for him. I think this new visibility level will give more flexibility
 to admins if he would manage confidential informations about members.


 - Can be useful in third party code or plugins :
 It's can be useful for code costumizator or plugins authors if they want
 create some extra fonctionality like manage levels or roles for members.
 I guess a lot of developers will found great utility to add this vibility
 level.


 I suggested to add filter for hiddens levels in the patch :

 {{{
 // filter the visibility levels
 return apply_filters( 'bp_xprofile_get_hidden_field_types_for_user',
 $hidden_levels, $displayed_user_id, $current_user_id );
 }}}

 i think this make bp-xprofile vibililty functionality extensible (ie.
 developers can add new vibility levels to $bp->profile->visibility_levels
 by using "bp_xprofile_get_visibility_levels" filter and they can extend
 the tests of visibility levels that should be hidden by calling the new
 filter "bp_xprofile_get_hidden_field_types_for_user".
