"Add a new entry" button on Glossary

I'm working on moodle 2.9, I want to know if I can erase the button of "Add a new entry" from students, because I don't want students to add anything to the Glossary, is there any way?

Thanks for your time

The glossary is more of a collaborative tool. Have you thought of other tools to use? What are you trying to accomplish?

This can be accomplished by using the Approved by default setting.

https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Glossary_settings#Approved_by_default

Just set it to No, and no new entries will appear unless you approve them.

You could also try removing the capability mod/glossary:write from the student role in that particular glossary, from Glossary admininistration >Permissions

I apologize Marco...I thought you were wanting to not have that Add a new entry button show up at all, so I was thinking maybe a different activity would fit your needs better. wink
