    Description

      First noticed by Luiggi Sansonetti on Moodle.org French forums but checked on school.demo.moodle. net, the online users block since 3.0 upgrade appears to show everyone, not just members of the course. If you click on a certain name, you may get the message that so-and-so is not enrolled in the course. If I have understood it correctly, this block should only show people enrolled in the course?
      I am going to mark it with a security notice just in case.
