      1. Log in as a user with a course creator role.
      2. Click "Site administration" on the flat navigation panel.
      3. Expected
        • There should be no error message shown and the appropriate page should be opened.
      4. Actual
        • An access denied error page comes up.

      Not sure if related, but on Clean theme, when I expand the Site administration node, and I click on the Courses node, I get the following notice:

      Notice: Undefined variable: buttons in /home/jun/moodles/stable_master/moodle/admin/category.php on line 130
