 Hi,

 I am trying to implement a more granular user management as I already
 stated in a previous ticket (#5932).

 Currently the ''xprofile_check_is_required_field'' function checks for
 capabilities only on the front end due to this line:


 {{{
         // Super admins can skip required check
         if ( bp_current_user_can( 'bp_moderate' ) && ! is_admin() ) {

 }}}

 With this in place I cannot edit fields in the WordPress admin interface,
 even if I have the ''bp_moderate'' capability. I can't think of any reason
 why this check should only be performed on the front end side. So maybe
 the ''! is_admin()'' part should be removed.
