Category roles visible in participants list

Since we upgraded from v3.2 to 3.4, the users roles in the course and their roles on category level are all visible to the students in the participants list. 

For example, we have teachers in courses who also work with study administration, who are added as "Study administrators" on the category level. 

  • In courses they are not added to, they are not listed at all (as before, in v 3.2)
  • I courses they are added to they are listed as both Teacher and Study administrator. This is not wanted.

I cannot find anywhere to change this, is it possible?

Hello Peter,

Is only Teacher selected as a 'Profile visible role' in Site security settings in the Site administration?

Hi Helen, 

I'm on 3.4 and am having the same issue. My "Profile visible roles" are set to student and teacher only:



But the teacher sees other roles listed in the Participants List in two places: 

Under the Roles column:


In the Filter:



they can also see the roles on the user profile:



For the Teacher Permissions, I have this set:



Any suggestions of what I may have mis-configured?

I've created tracker MDL-65030 to discuss the "Visible Roles" that are 'not' selected that are appearing in the Participants list or User Profiles for M 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6


The Moodle Docs don't provide any other details other than to select which roles you want to appear in those two places (https://docs.moodle.org/36/en/Site_security_settings#Profile_visible_roles)


It seems to be a bug to me that non selected roles are appears in those two places for non-admin users.
