Hi!
I found some long discussions about legacy role types, but is there a simple answer?!
Well I made a new role "student as a restricted editing teacher". The restriction is mainly that no role assignments are allowed.
Now, I changed the legacy role type to none, teacher, student and so on. But nothing seems to happen during building up a course thru a testuser with the new role.
Which legacy role type should I use, as the student has the role "student" on the website and the professor assigns the student to the new role "student as an restricted editing teacher" for his course, so the student can design the course for him?
I'm using Moodle Version 1.9.8.
Regards,
Monica

What do you mean by "nothing seems to happen during building up a course thru a test user with the new role"?
Do you want the student to be able to add materials to the course but NOT add any students? Is that what you wish to do?

Hi Mary!
Yes, that's how it's supposed to work, in spite of some German data privacy act!
The new role doesn't allow gradeing (which we don't use in the commun way anyway), managing/reading notes, reseting courses, and so on.
Do you have any other suggestion how this would work?
Cheers,
Monica

For 99% of users the legacy role setting does nothing. It's for compatibility with pre-roles optional plugins. I doubt there's many of those still around.

Hi Howard!
Aha, thought so as in the German forum nobody even answered my question.
Thanks! So I'll ignore it, as we only just upgraded from 1.9.3 to 1.9.8. and don't have any older versions.
Cheers,
Monica
