Hi,

We are using Totara v12. We use forums in each course to encourage learner engagement.

When a user posts a discussion, the name appears as a hyperlink to their course profile.

https://xxxxxxxx/user/view.php?id=53120&course=1443

We are concerned about GDPR. I notice that when I click on another user's name in this forum I get the warning 'The details of this user are not available to you'. Which permission or settings control this, please?

All of my users are authenticated users in the system and learners in the course. Their Course > View user profiles (profilesmoodle/user:viewdetails) and View subscribers (mod/forum:viewsubscribers) are already set to No.

Thanks

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer

It sounds like the warning is what you are wanting when trying to view the user.

There are some other permissions that control what appears in a user profile

  • View participants moodle/course:viewparticipants

  • View participants moodle/site:viewparticipants

  • View hidden user fields moodle/course:viewhiddenuserfields

  • View hidden details of users moodle/user:viewhiddendetails

regards
