Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Hi, I think it would be nice if one could change the allowed connection origins of a DB through the pg Admin, so simply put what is set in the pg_hba.conf file of the DB.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Yes one can change it in the file, but for some use cases where one wants to add or remove a device from/to the list it is kind of a hassle.
Additional context
I understand that one may need to first add the ability to change these setting in PostgreSQL first and then can add this here.
I also understand that there could be security concerns with the ability to change such a setting through a DB connection, so having the ability to disable something like this on the DB site is certainly something that would be good

Research direction
Start by reviewing PostgreSQL's pg_hba.conf configuration and the pgAdmin entry points for database settings. The issue does not name files or tests; first define whether PostgreSQL supports the requested change through a connection, what security opt-out is required, and what completed behavior should be tested.
