[Building Sakai] basic lti admin tool

[John Bush]

Oh fantastic, one question so is there a way to hide the basic lti
config (private key, url, all the technical bits) from the instructor
or whoever is placing the tool via the site editor.  This is less of a
pressing requirement but just wondering.  Maybe there is a way to do
this already I'm just not aware of.
