2. Edit the teacher role and change the capability moodle/role:override to allow.
3. Click the button "Save changes".
4. Click the tab "Allow role overrides" (in Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles)
5. Check the checkbox where the teacher row and the student column intersect to allow a teacher to override the student role.
