group view permissions

group view permissions

I have a course with several groups. The course is configured to separate groups.

Each group has a non-editing teacher. By definition, the non-editing teacher can view all the group students in the course, but I, However, want him to view only his specific group students. In order to do so, I’ve disabled his role permission in these options:

  1.  Manage groups – moodle/course:managegroups
  2. View groups – moodle/site:accessallgroups

This works flawlessly in the gradebook and members modules where he no longer has the choice to switch between groups. 

The workshop module is a different story, as he can see all the course students submissions instead of just his own. I’ve tried to play with the workshop permissions option, and disabled the teacher from: 

  1. View all assignments - mod/workshop:viewallsubmissions 

But now, instead of viewing just his student’s submissions, he can’t see anything at all. 

Is there a way to work it out?  

Thanks smile

What Moodle version are you using? Groups related issues were addressed in Moodle 2.3 release.

Yeah, let me suggest to upgrade to 2.3. That should fix your issue.

Hi Leon. The random allocation of reviews has not been modified since its introduction in 2.0. That means that

  • in Visible groups mode, the Random allocator tries to pick reviewers from all groups in a balanced way,
  • in Separate groups mode, the Random allocator picks reviewers only from the group the author is member of,
  • and the reviewer's Access all groups capability is not taken into account intentionally.
