Setting permissions to allow a user to enrol students in groups from a csv file

by Gareth Davies - Tuesday, July 9, 2013, 5:07 PM

Hi,

I'm using 2.5 and want to give a teacher the permission to upload new users and allocate them to a group in a course. I've worked out how to do this using my admin account and it works fine, but when using the other account it creates the users but ignores the group information fields (I created a clone of a teacher account and allowed Upload new users from file moodle/site:uploadusers and put this role at System level). I've also tries this from a Manager account and the same happens - the users are created but not allocated to their groups.

What settings on the account do I need to do this?

I've solved this one, so am documenting it.

Firstly my description is wrong above. The "Manager" role does work. I has cloned this role and was using the new cloned role when trying it. The issue was that when cloning or duplicating a role, its overrides are not cloned at the same time.

Within the new role you need to Allow role overrides on appropriate levels

Site administration
/ ▶ Users
/ ▶ Permissions
/ ▶Define roles

and click on the tab Allow role overrides. I clicked on everything from Teacher down to Authenticated user on front page and this worked. I then removed unnecessary control privileges for this new role.
