enable_special_attributes

This API enables non-admin users to view attributes for certain groups in Query-Report Builder.

Within Query-Report Builder, admin users can see all attributes while non-admin users can view only query attributes, except attributes that are designated as admin only (such as IDs). Use enable_special_attributes to allow non-admin users to view all of the attributes within a specified attributesGroup.

Note: When an attribute group is enabled, all of the attributes within that group are available.
Note: With the following exception, you do not need to restart the GUI for changes to take effect. If a report with the attributes of group F5 is added to My New Reports, a non-admin user does not have privileges to view the report until the GUI is restarted.

This API is available in Guardium V9.5 and later.
