Default folder permissions

This discussion has been locked because a year has elapsed since the last post. Please start a new discussion topic.

Hi I want to set up my moodle installation so that when a user adds a folder to a course, by default a student in the course has permission to upload to that folder.

mod/folder:managefiles

I took a look through the code in mod/folder but wasn't able to pinpoint the line to modify.

Thanks.

Does editing the student role to give them permission 'mod/folder:managefiles' not work? (Site admin > Users > Permissions > Define roles, click on 'Student' then 'Edit')

This could then be overridden for a particular course or folder where this wasn't wanted.

This should all be possible without touching any Moodle code.

Thanks Adam for your question and Davo for your answer. I've added this to the Folder resource FAQ

Hi,

I have just tried to edit the student role to have access to a specific Folder in a specific Course. But It seems like I can't do that? Do you have any ideas what to do?

Students should already have access to folders added to courses...but normally you can click on the activity/resource and then go to permissions from the activity/resource admin menu and set it there.
