      Description

      This is a very unlikely edge case.

      A very weird situation when capability 'moodle/course:viewparticipants' is removed from teacher role. In 3.3 teacher does not see "Participants" item in the navigation menu or boost flatnav. However teacher can access "Enrolled users" from "Course cog" > User > Enrolled users. In master when teacher tries to click on "Enrolled users" he sees an error "Sorry, but you do not currently have permissions to do that (View participants)"
