Roles and permissions

I think these two statements in the category:manage docs may help:

1. To add a new category, you need moodle/category:manage in the parent of the category you are adding to.
2. To update a category's name, description, and/or visiblility, you need moodle/category:manage in the category itself.

A lot depends upon the context (system wide? within a category?) that the user has. If you edit the Course Creator role to add category:manage capabilty then assign a user to this role at the system level (ie with Users : Permissions : Assign system roles) that user will have this capability over the whole moodle site. But to allocate this capabilty within a part of the site you'd need to create a new category (or use an exisiting one) where you want users to be able to manage their categories :

1. In the Category in question, click 'Assign roles', then
2. {Locally assigned roles} tab -> Course creator -- assign users
3. and optionally {Override permissions} tab  -> Course creator -> category:manage -> Allow

I think that will do the job. Let us know how you get on with this -- it's exactly what I'm wanting to do but have not tried out yet.

Anyone had any luck with this issue? Seems like it would be a bug as there are permissions available to allow this access. Once you have added some of the permissions you also see the "Turn editing on" link, but this just seems to refresh the page.
