Question about Roles and Permissions

Für dieses Forum ist eine Höchstzahl von Beiträgen innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraums festgelegt worden. Dies gilt nach 3 Beiträgen innerhalb von 1 Tag

I have two roles in the same context (courses and activity) and the students can have both roles or one of the roles in the class.

I need the following to occur and I cannot figure out how to get the following scenarios to work:

1. Learner + Limited_Learner Role = to access to all activity types

2. Learner Role = to access to all activity types

3. Limited_Learner Role = only access to Certificate and Feedback activities.

I have tried to set (for example) the resource view (mod/resource:view) to be the following:

Learner Role = Allow

Limited_Learner = Prevent

These settings work for scenarios for #1 and #2, however, they do not Prevent access to resource activity when the student only have Limited_Learner Role in the class.

Thank you.

Hi Varun

The way the roles system works is tricky and discussed here - it involves weighting calculations for the context level - the lower the context the more weight and multiplying this to the sum of the permissions (inherit = 0, allow = 1, prevent = -1, prohibit = -1000) together

To change the values you can

1) remove the user from learner role in the course, or
2) add overrides for limited learner role in the activity, or
3) assign them a learner's role in the activities

To make the appropriate role win you need to compare the calculations.

regards
