Bug Description

Version: 1:2.1.0-0ubuntu1 (afraid of updating since the database is holding everyone's grades needed for reports in a few days)
Ubuntu 12.04

Instructors cannot access student information, despite the settings in the security server tab saying:

View

School administration [1]

The user himself.

Advisors of a person.

Instructors of a person in any of his sections.

This never worked at all? How are teachers trying to get to the student page?

I think this was fixed and released for 2.3.

It's "Allow teachers to see attributes of all sections and resources." in the 2.3 Release notes (http://book.schooltool.org/2.3-release-notes.html#id9)

The fix that Douglas mentioned was to allow teachers see information of all sections – "teachers" was added to the "crowds" attribute in the following file.

You can try editing this file in the installation location, /usr/share/pyshared/schooltool/course/security.zcml

I will backport more fixes like this and make a 2.1.2 release sometime after work on Ubuntu 13.04 is completed.
