 BP 1.7 adds fields that can be edited by the user and viewed only by
 admins, but it'd also be great to have the opposite: Fields that are
 editable only by admins but can be viewed by anyone (or anyone who’s
 logged in).

 The specific use case is a corporate directory - I want to be able to add
 and display the user's hire date, birth date, and branch that they work
 at, but I don't want anyone getting cheeky and changing any of those. I
 don't see this being a narrow enough use case to be relegated to plugin
 status, so it'd be super cool to see it bundled into a future release!

 I'll try making a plugin in the meantime, but coding isn't my strong suit
 :P I can post what I did if I have success.
