Feature Summary

When disabling no_log for debugging reason, it is difficult to ensure that there are no job-logs with sensitive information. It would make more sense if (with available permission) a user can set "disable no_log" globally while creating a job (launching a template) That job should be marked as "with disabled no_log" so it can be easily found and deleted and it is only readable by users with the specific permission. even a color highlight of that job would be possible.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the no log field in the AWX job model and template serializer, and identify where permission checks occur. Then design a way to allow overriding no log during job launch with appropriate permissions and mark the job accordingly.
