Server files repository

From MoodleDocs

The server repository allows users with the correct permissions to see files on the server. This might mean only files and folders in the context of the current course, or access to a file system that will allow them to use other courses files.

To access any repository, click on it.

Below is an example of drilling down. The breadcrumb path has built in links to the level it represents. In the example below, click on "English" and you will see folders representing all the courses in the English category at demo.moodle.org .

Repository permissions

This repository is accessible by default to administrators, course creators, teachers, editing teachers and managers, but not to guests or students. This capability can be changed to control access to users with specific roles.
