Hi Melvin!

There is no especial permission for this action (Add a topic), so for removing this button you will need to change your theme or your format course (depending on what fits better in your case).

Kind regards,

Sara

The add topics link isn't separate to the rest of the course editing functions so you can't control it with a specific capability.

You can hide the link using CSS - but beware that you won't see it either!

Try adding this to your custom css

div#changenumsections {display: none;}

You say "For the assistant role". If you mean that you have someone helping in the course but you don't want them to be able to add topic sections, then you could consider giving them the Non-editing teacher role
