Hi,

I've just tested the manage capability with some activity modules (in moodle 2.0).

Choice, Feedback and Survey do not have a manage capability.

Quiz and Lesson have one (and so has the new version of Questionnaire in HEAD)

Well, even with a user's manage capability set to Forbid, it is possible for a user to create and update an instance of Quiz, to create a Lesson (but with error message) and Questionnaire activities. Does this mean that the manage capability does not include the capabilities to create and update such activities? And further, what exactly does forbidding a manage capability prevent a user from doing (in those modules)?

In Quiz, "manage forbidden" allows a user to create and update a quiz, but not to put questions in it.

In Lesson, "manage forbidden" allows a user to create a new lesson, but upon completion, displays a Navigation: first page not found error message! "manage forbidden" does not allow user to update a lesson.

Question: is there any way to use the Forbid setting of the manage capability to prevent creation and editing of all activities which have this capability available? At least, could there be some consistent common behavior of that setting for all moodle activities???
