Hello,

Using both moodle 1.8.2 and 1.9 I cannot as Admin set Teacher over-ride.

Logged in as Admin I go to Administration ► Users ► Permissions ► Define roles -> Allow rode overrides tab. On the Teacher row I tick the Student column. I logout and log in as Teacher and go to one of my courses. I go to the Administration block -> Assign roles. On that page I only see Roles and the Assign Roles tab, there is no Override roles tab available. What am I missing?

Hi Joseph,

There are two parts to enabling teachers to override the student role. In addition to setting which role(s) can be overridden, you also need to allow the capability to override roles for the teacher role. Please see the override roles documentation for more details.

That sounds like a gotcha, maybe the capability could be set for the role that the "enabling" is being done. Otherwise it's not really enabled.

Yes, that would be "logical"!

Thanks Helen!
This roles system is decidely very tricky (and seasoned users like JR should know better and read the documentationblush).

The enable roles override page should probably do something to indicate which roles do not have the moodle/role:override capability - so you know that there is no point letting teachers overeide the studnet role until you have given them that capability.
