patch to acheve this
I wonder if this should be something the project site owner can turn on/off (e.g., controlable on a site by site basis rather than installation wide). Currently, at UM anyway, students in course sites can't see the site info roster list due to privacy issues (and since there is no checkbox for view roster in permissions, the instructor can't give them that permission, by design). In project sites, the 'student' type role, access, or at UM member, does have permission to view the site info roster list. If the provider id is there and the enrolled in column is shown, does that expose private info that shouldn't be?
I don't think this is a problem for us in particular - users coming into a site with a provider id come in with the Student role, and in our project sites we don't have that role. So we would have to add the student role, and since admins would be the ones adding the provider id, they would also as part of the process add the student role, and could uncheck site.view.roster as part of the process. If privacy is an issue with that column. By default we hide the site info tool from users without site.upd and make the roster tool available for 'roster' functionality (renamed to participants). So for us this isn't a privacy issue.
As for the roles we have one class of object returned by CM that gives the role equivalent of access. This is for membership of a residence, specificaly so a residence warden can set up a non course site but still get the membership list provided. David, this sounds less like a Bug, but more of a request to change the current design for a specific case, so it should really be a Task or Feature Request. I'm going to make it the later for now, as given the potential for privacy concerns raised here, this issue probably needs wider community discussion and vetting first.
