Which capability controls 'mail now'

Hi all,

Moodle 3.4.2 (Build: 20180319)

I have some users with some custom roles using ARCHETYPE: Teacher (non-editing). On a standard forum I want them to be able to use the

[ ] Send forum post notifications with no editing-time delay

option but they can't see it. Which capability controls seeing this?

many thanks

Such a specific capability doesn't seem to exist. 


"Teachers (and others with the capability to manage course activities) will see this option when posting to a forum. Ticking this box will send a notification to everyone subscribed to that forum with no editing time delay. (Users normally have 30 minutes to edit their posts.)"
