Non-editing Teachers can't view grades and reports

Non-editing Teachers can't view grades and reports

Hello,

I'm using Moodle 2.7.2+ (Build: 20141015) and am having trouble giving non-editing teachers access to the Course administration > Reports and the Course administration > Grades.

When trying to access either a Non-editing Teacher gets the following error message:

Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (View grades of other users)

More information about this error

I've set the permissions for grades to whats below and still get the error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should add that the permissions I've set for a non-editing teacher are for the system and the course.

And that the users assigned to the non-editing teacher role have been enrolled into the course.

There is only one course.

Hi David, 

my initial thought is that you need to assign these teachers to the system level and add the following permission:
-view courses without participation


Though I have found that sometimes the permission that you set don't just affect 1 thing, but multiple. So you may have to change a permission to "allow" that you didn't realize is connected to being able to view reports.  Since adjusting roles can be a bit time consuming, take a look at what I have set to "allow" for my teachers who can view reports to see if you have any of these set to "Not Set" or "Prevent/Prohibit"

(my teachers are set to the system level and the course level)

-View Participants (moodle/site:viewparticipants)

-View Participants (moodle/course:viewparticipants)

-View Course Overview report

-View all user forum posts

-See user activity reports

-View user full information

-View the grader report

-view the outcomes report

-view the overview report

-view your own grade report

-view participants

-view courses without participation

-view scales

-edit grades

-manage grade items

-view grades of other users

-view reports (moodle/site:viewreports)

-view course logs

-view live logs

-view activity report

-view course participation report


Good luck! Maybe someone else has a correct or more clear answer.

Hi David,

I also experience this problem on 2.7.3+, however my 2.7.1+ works fine. I checked all the permissions for all the reports under "Reports" menu in Course Administration are allowed for non-editing teacher, but when I log in as a non-editing teacher, I cannot see Course Administration block at all. I believe it's a bug that got introduced in 2.7.2 and forward.
