The permission moodle/course:viewhiddenuserfields is set to allow for several our staff roles, but still only site administrators can see the hidden fields in the profile of participants in their courses.

I tried to change this to Visible to user but that made no difference, staff role can still not see the additional fields.

Using Moodle 3.9.7
