How can a Learner set their own position?
I've looked at the Learner role and allowed Assign self, Assign user, Update and View and it doesnt seem to work. What capabilities should I be using?

Hi John
The settings you need to allow are Assign self and Assign user having just one allowed doesn't seem to work - I thought just selecting Assign self should work but as you say it didn't.

Thanks Aaron for checking this out.
By setting the allow assign self position for the authenticated user role wouldn't this allow this for all logged in users regardless of their role .
John was wanting to allow this for one particular role. In an organisation it might not be good to allow self assignment of positions to everyone especially if there are some competencies or courses linked to positions.

Re: setting a position
Sorry for drawing this out Aaron - we are getting closer though.
Assigning a learner role at site level wouldn't be a good idea either as the user would be able to access courses they are not enrolled in.
Would creating a role at site level that only allows assignment of self positions and then assigning a learner role at course level and assigning a person to both roles be the way around this or am I needlessly complicating things where one custom role would do the trick.
