      When teacher imports part of course from their previous course Moodle also import user permissions without noticing teacher. It is bug and needs to be resolved right away.

      It's a design for import function. But it's better to have an option and warning when importing.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Prepare three users: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
      2. Prepare two courses - A and B.
      3. Make the Ugly a teacher in both courses.
      4. Make the Good a non-editing teacher in the course A.
      5. Make the Bad a non-editing teacher in the course B.
      6. Log in as the Ugly teacher.
      7. In the course A, override permissions for role 'Non-editing teacher' and give it for example the capability to enrol users ("enrol/manual:enrol") - because the Ugly teacher trusts the Good assistant and wants them to help with the course management.
      8. Add a resource (such as a page) in the course A.
      9. Go to the course B.
      10. Import the resource from A to B.
      11. Log in as the Bad non-editing teacher.
      • Expected result: the Bad non-editing teacher should not be able to enrol users in the course B.
      • Actual behaviour: the Bad non-editing teacher can enrol users (or whatever the Good one was given in the original course).
