Spirit of sharing
In SITE ADMINISTRATION >USERS> PERMISSIONS >DEFINE ROLES (choose Student)
I unticked: View user profiles :: moodle/user:viewdetails
This has now disabled the viewing of profiles for students other than themselves.
I'm not sure whether 'disabled' was the default for Moodle all along, and someone changed it - or if I've changed a default setting. However it seems to have worked ie. disabled students from viewing profiles and thus emails of other students.
Hi Seaghan,
Many thanks for sharing - just wondering if you do this change in the Admin area is it for all users or only students?
I just need to hide student emails (personal accounts) from other students, and in the profile settings area, so that it can not be searched for at all - confidentiality issue.
I know you can do this with a CSV upload - through adding maildisplay = 0 but wanted to know if ALL users wont be able to see the email address. (i.e. teachers wont see students email address?)
cheers
Ingrid
hi Ingrid,
if you have upgraded to 2.8 or 2.9 - here is where you can control this. Hope this helps!
