Description
If the "Update course settings" (moodle/course:update) capability is removed from the teacher role for the purposes of removing access to the course settings screen, teachers can also no longer edit labels. We tested this on a 1.7 where roles were introduced and 1.7 didn't seem to have these two tied. I am wondering if this was changed at some point to give a way to secure labels from non-editing teachers. This seems to be about the only course element without its own discrete manage capability.
We might be able to provide some code for this as part of a client project if this seems like the best way to deal with the issue. We created a custom course settings block for the client so that certain course settings could be restricted. It was done as a block to prevent modifying core, but as a result of this function being tied to the capability it can't be deployed.
Does it make sense to add an capability for managing labels in the course?
Thanks for reporting this issue.
