I have a question around Manager capability. Can a manager mark completion on a course ? (Manager being the person a learner reports to in their organizational hierarchy). This not a learning plan activity. I am asking related to a course or program item. 

For example: If an SCORM activity had an equivalent related to a manager's observation.

Would the manager have to have another designation? If so, how would that potentially impact reports,etc.

Hi Jeff

There is a permission mark staff course as complete  totara/program:markstaffcoursecomplete that is allowed for the staff manager role by default. This should allow a manager to mark a course as complete via the program.

Permissions are applied to all users with that role so that means if a permission to mark a activity/course complete is provided then the user would be able to mark all users complete - not just their staff . This is a limitation of the capability system
