We have a scenario where participants receive certificates in courses. Each participant has been assigned a mentor via the parent role in Moodle. This mentor should be able to see which certificates their mentees have already earned. However, access to the certificates is not possible because the certificate viewing permissions do not apply to user-specific roles.
Mentors must be activated as a global role, and users must be assigned there. However, this setup ignores the connection between mentors and mentees, meaning all users with the global Mentor role can see certificates for all participants, not just their own mentees.
Is there a solution for this? Perhaps the certificate viewing permission in the profile could be linked to the mentor-mentee relationship?
I hope I have explained the problem clearly and that a solution is possible.
Best regards

What is the reason for this error? Could you help me please
I'm trying to download all issued certificates (it's 450 total), but after waiting 120 sec have an error "Request Timeout". When we had around 100 issued certificates everything was fine. Moodle version 4.5.5, Customcert version 4.4.6
Anyone had issue like this?
Thank you for this plugin, which we've been using on our platforms for a long time. One of the latest improvements allows downloading all the certificates issued in a course in a single ZIP file, all at once. This is a feature that users have always requested.
However, we’ve encountered two issues:
1. The bulk download does not respect the group filter.
2. If the course has many users and certificates, the plugin throws a 500 error.
Is there any plan to allow filtering certificates in the bulk download, or to run the download as a background task?
Thanks!
I really love custom certificate! But I got a problem...
I created a custom field in the course and am capturing the information contained in this field. The field is a text box with line breaks, and the text is a list and settings like bold and italics (the course syllabus).
When I capture this information in the template, it displays in a straight line, without line breaks, and it also doesn't display list elements, etc.
How can I make the content appear as it is entered on the course setting page?
Best regards,
Suzana
