Problem assigning role in program context

Problem assigning role in program context
de Richard Jones - Monday, 21 de October de 2013, 14:24
 

I am administering a system where some roles have been modified already.  When attempting to assign a role via the program settings screen, clicking Users | permissions | assigned roles throws an error "Can not find data record in database table course."

Apparently, the administrator was able to do this in previous versions.

Any ideas as to where I should look to find the problem?

Thanks

Richard

Hi Richard,

Can you tell me with the version you are using, where you are going to assign the roles & what you did exactly to get the error?

Thanks,

George.

Hi George

There a couple of things that seem strange.  Checking the permissions gives the record not found error:

Also there are some roles with a triple question mark (which suggests to me there might be sone code incorrect or missing)?

Thanks for any suggestions you can make.

Richard

Hi Richard,

Could you supply a screenshot with the debugging enabled? Also what version are you on?

regards,

George.

Hi Richard,

I can't reproduce your problem but I'm using Totara 2.4.13 version and it is possible that the issue is fixed with the new versions. Is it possible to update your system?

Regards

Oleg

Hi George

I would also like to know what happened between 1.9 and 2.0 in Totara roles - I know there were significant changes to the concept of context in the Moodle world (such that roles became unsupported in some contexts).  Did Totara also add the Manager (as in people/staff manager role to be applied in the User context, as opposed to the traditional Moodle Manager (typically applied in system or category contexts) at this time.  If so, how was the 1.9 Manager role affected - was it renamed?

Thanks if you can help, it might shed some light on what happened in our system.

Richard

Hi Richard,

Regarding the Manager role in 2.0. What happened was, in Moodle 1.9 there was no manager role. In Totara 1.1 (based on Moodle 1.9) we added a 'manager' role to represent a staff member's manager. Then in Moodle 2.0 they added a 'manager' role which meant a user who was managing the site (e.g an administrator).

Because this would have led to conflict issues we renamed our role (old shortname: manager, old name: Manager) to "Staff Manager" (new shortname: staffmanager). We also changed the description of the moodle 'manager' role to "Site Manager", while keeping its shortname 'manager' as that is used in lots of places in Moodle.

When you assign someone as the manager in Totara 2+ we automatically assign the "Staff manager" role in the context of the staff member.

Hope that helps,

Simon
