 | Blocking Profile Updates for Students |
|
Hi, Is there a way to prevent individual students from updating their Moodle profiles? This used to be an option in the previous version, but I can't seem to find it in this version. Thank you. Kevin |

Hi Kevin, This should be possible via the user:editownprofile capability, as described here: http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Capabilities/moodle/user:editownprofile Please let me know if this works for you. Fernando |

Hi Fernando, It seems like I can only allow/block this system wide under authenticated users. From what I read, I could create a new system role similar to the "student" role and disallow edit profile for that role, and assign the role to those students who abuse the privilege. Does this sound right? Would creating a new system role similar to student role be pretty straightforward? Thanks Kevin |

Yes, that should do the trick. From what I recall, we tried to do this a few years ago by changing capabilities for the student role but that didn't work. It has to be a system role. I haven't played around with system roles for some time though. I'd be interested to know how it goes. Thanks, Fernando |
