How can teachers award site badges?
By default, teachers can only award course badges. Only users with capabilities to manage badges in the system are able to do this, so if you wish teachers to award site badges you need to create a new, global role.
- Go to Administration > Site administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles and add a new role called for example "Site badge awarder"
- Add it to the "System" context
- Set the following capabilities to "allow": moodle/badges:awardbadge, moodle/badges:viewbadges, moodle/badges:configurecriteria
- Assign this role to the teachers you wish to award site badges.
The teacher with the role "Site badge awarder" will see a link to Badges in the Administration block.
