Description

You don't appear to only be able to read chat logs. The mod/chat:chat capability is a dependency because the readlog option is on the chat page. This isn't clear if it's a 'feature'.

You are able to assign mod/chat or mod/chatlogs capabilities to users, if you are going to stop user's chatting and allow them view the past chat session, you should override permissions in course setting. Am I misunderstanding you?

Sure you can set the capability, but you can't have just chatlogs. The button is on the chat page, which you only see if 'chat' capability is enabled.

A very minor point, but we wanted to set up a 'view only' user and it turns out that this is not possible for chat.

I can not find any use of mod/chat:talk, why was it added? Why does it not have clonepermissionfrom (required when adding caps into STABLE)?

It seems like bad policy to enable capabilities in stable before they do anything. I just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why this doesn't do anything in my latest stable download. In my version which I just synced against stable, removing the mod/chat:talk doesn't prevent the user from entering text into the chat.
