Role permissions

Hi! 

I need to allow the role of senior trainer to be able to edit a users profile if they are having login problems. I have updated the permissions to allow the User to Edit user profiles but that has not worked.  

Does anyone have any ideas? 

Thanks

Hi Lesley,

To enable the senior trainer to edit a user's profile, they must have a system role (i.e. you assign them the role via Site administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles) with the edit user profiles capability allowed. It doesn't work if you allow the capability for a role such as Teacher which is then assigned in the course context.
