Hi everyone,
We have created a new "coordinator" role that is above a teacher and below an admin with capabilities. We have assigned 3 global coordinators and 2 coordinators within a category. The problem that we are having is that the global coordinators are getting flooded with email notifications for all site activities, such as, forum postings and assignment submissions for all courses. Likewise, the category coordinators are receiving notifications for all category courses.
Only the instructor of each course should be receiving these notifications. Is there a way to stop these emails for the coordinator role?
I have seen the "moodle/site:readallmessages" capability, but I am not familiar with what is does.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
You should be able to stop forum subscription emails by not setting the capability mod/forum:initialsubscriptions for the coordinator role.
The capability moodle/site:readallmessages relates to messaging.

Dear Helen,
Thank you for your response. Does "initial subscriptions" mean that this capability would need to be set to "Prevent" BEFORE people are assigned to this role for it to take effect?
Also, do you know of a capability that will also stop notifications for assignments and quizzes also?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Regarding initial subscriptions, "not set" should be sufficient, rather than "prevent". Sorry I don't know about whether it needs to be "not set" before users are assigned the role. Perhaps you could let me know when you discover the answer.
Regarding stopping assignment submission notifications, the capability to grade assignments should be not set, since only teachers who are able to grade a particular submission are notified.
Regarding stopping quiz submissions notifications, the capability "get email notification of quiz submissions" should be not set.
Please note that role changes only take effect after the next login from that user.
