Please also note that the docs are a Wiki. If something is confusing and you take the time to figure it out please update the docs to make it better for everybody.
I love the docs. They are very well done and very informative. In the docs, I learned that I could change student permissions so they can do more in the courses. But then found that I can't and we can't seem to figure out why. I'm still working on it. Thank you for all your help.
Josie if you can't change permissions it is perhaps because you yourself don't have the relevant permissions.
Josie, I have been using Moodle since 2008 and have never needed to change student permissions. But maybe so, since there are many ways that people use Moodle. What do you find students cannot do?
