Permission to add sections/topics

Permission to add sections/topics

We have created a role Librarian, for our librarians to be able to help out in courses. They should be able to add some of the activities and resources, and also to import from a "resource course" where they have their different materials.

Since moodle puts imported resources, activities and sections to the corresponding section in the course the materials are being imported to, a good way to keep control is to create a new, empty section in the course, in the corresponding place as in the "resource course".

My problem is, I cannot find any permission to allow the role to add a new section.

I have set the permissions

  • moodle/course:movesections
  • moodle/course:sectionvisibility
  • moodle/course:viewhiddensections

and they work fine, but there is no Add section (or topics) button.

Does anyone know what permission setting I should set?

Hello Peter. I might be mistaken but I don't think it is possible just to have a capability to add sections but without the full ability to update the whole course.

Thank you Mary.

I added moodle/course:update and that allows to add new sections.
