Which permission is needed to view/edit/add Seminar rooms

Welcome to this forum!

Hi,

I'm not able to find the permission that is needed to view/edit/add the rooms in the Seminar plugin.

As a system administrator, I'm able to view/edit/add the rooms in System administration > Seminars > Rooms.

Our back office are assigned to the Site manager role, because they do not need full access.
I want to give them access to the System administration > Seminars > Room menu, but the System administration > Seminars menu item is not available for them at all.

When a site manager tries to access this page using a direct link (https://our_totara_site/mod/facetoface/room/manage.php) they are facing a Access denied message.

Does anybody know which permission to set, if I want to give them access to this menu item?

Or, is the access to this menu item restricted to System administrators only?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Danny

Hi Danny

You are right there is not a separate capability for adding rooms to a seminar.

After a bit of experimentation allowing the Configure activity modules capability results in the Seminar rooms being able to be added. This setting also shows the other settings for the seminar activity and activities are also visible

Hi Danny

The steps were

Select Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles
Select Edit cog beside the Site manager role
Search for Configure and locate the Configure activity modules
Select Allow and save changes

Logging in as Site manager should then show the seminar rooms option on the site admin menu
