Hello,
I 'm used, in Moodle 1.9, to assign some roles other than administrator i the system context in order to grant to some people access to all the courses.
Now when I do it in Moodle 2 (2.2.2 and 2.3dev) it appears that they just don't apply in the course contexts.
Can somebody explain why?
Actually it works if the person also have a local role, but what's the point?
I'm a bit confused because I believed that the context inheritance was a cornerstone in Moodle...
I think you may need to set the 'View courses without participation -/ course:view' capability for that role to 'allow'
Great, that helps!
I realise now that "enrolment" (in courses) and "role assignment" (in other contexts) are not equivalent in Moodle 2.
It seems that the block "People/Participants" shows only enrolments when "Users/Other users" as well as "This user's role assignments" show only role assignments. But maybe not always ...
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!
