Capabilities/moodle/course:viewhiddencourses

• This allows a user to view hidden courses

How to change this setting so teachers can see courses that they themselves have hidden.

Written April 18, 2007, based on Moodle 1.8

1. Login in as admin
2. Go to Administration >> Users >> Permissions >> Define Roles, then click on edit icon in the "Teacher" row
3. Do a "find" in your browser for "course:viewhiddencourses" or browse down to the "Courses" settings.
4. Click the 2nd radio button ("Allow")
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save changes."

This apparently won't work, if the follwoing is true.

• If the admin has hidden previously taught courses by putting them in a hidden category, then teachers will still not be able to view their own hidden courses.
