I am using attendance module 2.4.0 on moodle 2.2.8 everything went well but I have a problem which is: I created a course and this course will be given to 3 groups (classes) each group has a different non-editing teacher. the problem is when anyone of the teachers take the attendance, he will be able to take attendance for all three groups. yeah there is an option list where he can choose his group only but he is able to take others aswell. what I need is the teacher who teaches (groupA) can access (groupA) only on the attendance sheet. anyone can help in doing that please.

Hello Aliadam,

You have to enable a link "Available for group members only" which you will find under

Site administration>Development>Experimental>Experimental settings.

After enabling the above link, create three groupings and place each group in one grouping.

Now when you create an Attendance activity then in Group mode click on show advanced. After clicking on Show Advanced you will find two options , one is for selecting grouping and another is for checking the box of Available for group members only.

*You have to create three Attendance activities for each group

By creating all the above settings you will be able to achieve your requirement.

If in any case you find some difficulty then please let me know

Need urgent help please

I am using attendance module 2.3 on moodle 2.3. I have also used attendance module 2.0 on moodle 2.2.1 but the same problem exists in both versions.

I have a problem that I created a course which will be given to different
groups/classes. Each group has a different non-editing teacher. The
problem is when anyone of the teachers take the attendance, he will be
able to take attendance for all three groups. The teacher can choose his
group and he is able to take others aswell. Actually every teacher can
access of his groups only on the attendance sheet.


I have enabled a link "Available for group members only" which is
available in
Site administration>Development>Experimental>Experimental settings.

I have created different groupings and place each group in one grouping.

Another problem is that in Attendance activity Show advanced button in
Group mode is not available/visible. Therefore I can't select the box of
Available for group members only.

Anyone can help in doing that please.
