      Description

      When portfolios are enabled on the forum, there is a button to "Export whole discussion to portfolio". If the user is a student with default permissions, clicking on this button will result in the following being displayed:

      Sorry but you do not have the required permissions to export files from this area

      Really this button should not be visible if the user does not have adequate permissions.
