      0. Make sure you ran upgrade process - there is no version bump in this branch but upgrade is needed so the defaults for the settings are written to mdl_config.

      1. Create a backup of a course that has users, custom enrolment methods (for example "self"), activities, blocks, etc.
      2. Go to Site Administration > Courses > General restore defaults and create some funny set of default settings, lock some of them.
      3. As a manager (not admin!) restore this backup and make sure the defaults applied: try restoring as a new course, merging into existing and replacing existing (delete existing course contents).
      4. Make sure all defaults applied properly
      5. When restoring into existing course experiment with "Overwrite course configuration" and keeping/overwriting course name and startdate - this hopefully became more clear in the UI now.
      6. Revoke from the manager one (or all) of capabilities:

      • moodle/course:changeshortname
      • moodle/course:changefullname
      • moodle/restore:rolldates

      7. In the default settings lock defaults to overwrite course names/dates.
      8. As a manger restore the course merging/replacing the existing course and make sure that names/dates were NOT changed and permission absence wins over config lock.
      9. Experiment with editing section name using the sectionedit form - make sure you can switch between default and custom section name

      We ran into an issue today with instructors performing restores. On the final screen before performing the restore Instructors have the option to "overwrite course configuration". This can be a problem with our instance in that all students are loaded from an ERP system. So if an instructor changes the short name the students will no longer be able to be loaded. I've restricted instructors from changing this in the course settings but the restore option allows this.

      I would like to see General Restore options that can be locked just like the page at /admin/settings.php?section=backupgeneralsettings.
