Only teachers are considered for the participation report.
Tested with 2.4 master and it seems to work correctly.
Ways to reproduce the issue:
Enrol a couple of users in a course under students or teacher role (at least one each)
In turn use the bigbluebutton activity (join a meeting)
Go to the course participation report (in the cog / More/ Reports/ Course participation or report/participation/index.php?id=<courseid>)
Select the bbb activity in the drop down
Check that both teachers and student have their participation indicated (we should have some action indicated in the All actions columns)
