Moodle in English

When you say "the ones with X do not work properly" what exactly do you mean?

What I'm saying is that I log in with a username that should have the permissions to do this, and I can't do the things I'm supposed to be able to do, that is see manage the quizzes and the feedback.

Exactly what actions are you performing? What actually happens when you do?

I go to a quiz and I try to see who has done the quiz and delete some attempts, but I can't get a list, I'm actually prompted to take the quiz.

I go to the feedback, again I'm prompted to fill it in but I can't see who has submitted feedback nor can I export the results.

and what would you expect to happen instead?

To be able to do all those things that I actually can do logged in as an admin. However, I need to create this profile with limited permissions for 2 staff. And the permissions that I set suggest that I can do this, but something, somewhere is overriding this and I can't for the life of me figure out what.

I double checked, in fact quadruple checked and had 2 other people check my settings and we are all at a loss of figuring out what is going on.

Thanks.

No thank you! Help would be so very, very appreciated as I'm a total loss what to do and I have to get this done.

I've been fiddling with something for hours now and I'm at a loss. I set a role up for a coordinator who can do the following tasks:

Users:
* Browse list of users - works fine!
* Add a new user (includes updating and deleting) - works fine!
... pretty much everything with user management which works well

Courses:
* Assign roles - works fine!
* Reports - works fine!
* Grades - it has the "Show All Students" option and it works.

However, my issue is the following. I have set the following to "Allow" (and no legacy permissions) but when I log in as the coordinator (who has the role properly assigned), the coordinator is not allowed unfortunately.

All are set to allow but the ones with X do not work properly.

Feedback:
X View a feedback
* Complete a feedback - works fine!
X Delete completeds
X Map courses to global feedbacks
X Edit items
X Create private template
X Create public template
X Delete template
X View reports

Quizzes:
X View quiz information
* Attempt quizzes - works fine!
X Manage quizzes
X Preview quizzes
X Grade quizzes manually
X View quiz reports
X Delete quiz attempts

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

FYI - We are using Moodle 1.7 and upgrading at this time is not an option.

Many thanks!

Actually the file you are talking about lets us attribute the role a user has in a particular course. However, is there a way that we can identify the general system role for a user in the system?

At the moment we need to set them up manually here - /admin/roles/manage.php but with over 5000 users (and I'm usually bulk uploading a thousand at a time) it becomes an almost impossible task to do manually.

Any advice?

Many thanks,
Kristina

This isn't an answer to your question but rather an echo of your need. I need to have a CSV (which I can then convert to Excel) export of usernames. On our end, we have over 3000 users and unfortunately not all uploaded by the same person and we need to cross-reference the names to another list.

Surely there is a way to do this? At the very least a database queery that can be run?

Many thanks,
Kristina

Your summer or mine?

Gosh.. I have about 24 hours to do this... I may have to see how we can work around this!

Thanks for your quick response Yu!
