      This scenario occurs when the unrelated capability `moodle/my:manageblocks` has been removed from authenticated users. When navigating to their profile, a user will see the "Edit mode" toggle, because they still have the permission to `moodle/user:manageownblocks`, but the button never toggles on.

      The webservice (and editmode.php file) should refer to the `moodle/user:manageownblocks` when toggling from the profile page.

      It also appears that the capability `moodle/user:manageblocks` would be ineffective to toggle editing on/off on someone else's profile.

      Replication steps

      • Prohibit the permission moodle/my:manageblocks to the authenticated user role
      • Login as a non-admin
      • Navigate to your profile
      • Toggle edit mode

      Expected

      • Edit mode is toggled on or off

      Actual

      • The toggle does nothing

      NOTE: A similar situation also happens in other places where other editing capabilities are used to justify user_allowed_editing and are not taken into account in the API or editmode.php page.
