    Description

      after patching to 2.4.2 our course managers can no longer use the loginas feature to login as a student and upload an assignment. The loginas appears to still work but when the upload is attempted "No Permission to access this repository" is displayed. Students can still login and upload files with no problem. This was working before we upgraded last week and I can find no information if a change to this was applied. We updated from 2.4.1+(Build: 20130118). This error is produced for managers in both the course or system context. This is a real work stopper as we upload files for students every day. This error is still present after upgrading to Moodle 2.4.3 (Build: 20130318)

      Steps to reproduce:
      Log in as Manager
      Browse to Course and Assignment you need to upload file for
      go into View/grade all submissions
      Click on Student you want to upload for
      Use "Login As" for that student and continue
      Go to Assignment
      Click add Submission
      then attempt to add by clicking add in filepicker or dragging file,

      Returns "No permission to access this repository"
