Hide user comments on articles

Use the glide.knowman.show_user_feedback property to control whether feedback comments are visible.

When the glide.knowman.show_user_feedback system property isn't set to never, feedback comments will be visible on knowledge articles to users with the roles defined in the glide.knowman.show_user_feedback.roles property. Due to the potentially sensitive information in a feedback comment, an instance admin may not want the feedback to be visible.

Set the property glide.knowman.show_user_feedback.roles to never.
