Hi

Is it possible to block an individual user from posting on the forums in 1.9.4?

I cannot find anything in the search and would appreciate any guidance.

Many thanks

I think your best option would be to create a new role (named such as ForumNoPosts) and set to prohibit any capabilities related to posting and replying in forums (eg mod/forum:replypost for one) and then (as you are on 1.9) assign the relevant individual to this role via Assign system roles.

Hi Mary

Thanks so much for your suggestion!

I had tried that, but for a reason I have not yet been able to work out, when assigned to the new role the student does not appear as enrolled in the course at all.

I will have another go, now an expert has suggested it as the option - thanks again smile
