A few problems related to some people being able to see things that they shouldn't see within a course have been fixed in the past few weeks, but I think a few are still lurking.

For example when groups are being used: people shouldn't be able to see notifications about things happening within activities that they have no access to.

Since the combinations are many, I'd really appreciate some exhaustive testing from anyone using a recent CVS version of all scenarios to see if you can find any remaining little bugs like this.

I'd really like to have this tested before a beta release this week.

Scenario 1:

Let as say, I have two (2) groups... I only wanted the A group to be able to see the the activities intended only to A but not accessible to B and vice versa.... When I group the students in the different gropus and done some test group A and B are able to see the activities and the like... Correct me if I'm wrong about the concept of grouping... Is grouping simillar to another section with the same subject but different section or teacher?

Scenario 2:

I group A teacher to A group and B teacher in B group and forcing group to be separated. Does this means that teacher A would be able to see what B posted in the same course but group.... just wandering?

Ooops! blush I didn't see that discussion, thanks!

Maybe not by intentional design, but still, it can be useful. I just have to remember to turn off autolinking in hidden glossaries if I don't want it.
