    Description

      block_myoverview displays a completion progress bar for a particular course as soon as
      1. Course completion is enabled in the course settings
      2. There is at least one activity in the course which uses course completion (regardless if the activity will be completed automatically based on a rule or manually by the student)

      This is generally fine for students.
      But, unfortunately, the progress bar is also shown for teachers who often don't participate actively in a course (like a student does) and who will most probably have all of their progress bars be stuck at 0%.

      Thus, I would propose to add a mechanism to hide the completion progress bar for teachers.

      The simplest approach would be a capability to control if a user sees the progress bar or not.
      Perhaps the existing capability moodle/course:isincompletionreports can be used, otherwise a new capability is needed.
