      Description

      I do not want my teachers to see course-level suspended users on the Participants page, so I removed that permission from the teacher role: Capabilities/moodle/course:viewsuspendedusers

      (see image 1)

      However, they can still see suspended users in both the Participants list. 

      Teacher's view of Participant List still shows suspended users - teachers can even click on the users' names and see the profile:

       

      (see image 2)

       

      Is this a regression from the updated Participants page, or is this not the intended purpose of that permission.
