A role attached to Category

Lets say I have a category "Accounting"

I assign John as RoleA to Accounting.

I need RoleA to meet the following conditions:
- Able to assign user roles of courses under "Accounting".
- Initial login, my course page will not show all the courses those are viewable.

Turning on (moodle/role:assign):
- If I disable (moodle/course:view) on John, he will not be able to assign user roles. ( Hopefully this can be change! )
- If I enable (
moodle/course:view) on John, he will see all the courses when he just login. But I just want him to see the course list that he really have roles (such as teacher).

I found out that this can be archived by enabling (
moodle/site:doanything) and not set to (moodle/course:view). But using this John have much more permission such as be able to add new sub-category, which I don't want to.

I am currently using 1.9.1+ . Wish any one can help.

It is better to say "John must be able to do the following things:" and then list John's responsibilities without mentioning roles or permissions. Write a job description, as if you were trying to hire somone. It is also valuable to list any additional responsbilities you may give to John in the future, since this will affect the design.

When I read your description, the responsibilities are not clear. They are lost in technical details.
