Hi All,
I've raised an issue to look into this https://github.com/WebPA/WebPA/issues/33. As Stephen has mentioned, please report any bugs you encounter so we can log and fix them. I will look into deploying a fix for this in the coming days once I have established what the cause is. I'm also going to take a look at the long standing LDAP integration issues when I get a chance as well. As Mark noted, WebPA has recently had a fairly significant update to make it compatible with the latest versions of PHP and I intend to continue updating the system/fixing bugs so any requests for improvements or bug reports are very much appreciated,
Many thanks,
Andrew Millington

We've had a look on the database and it turns out the user has had the
student role on 2 assessments. Roles look right in Learn and on the
assessment.
Thank you for the suggestions folks, we'll change 'all' roles to tutor,
and see if that fixes the issue. If it does I'll ask our developer if
he's willing to have a go at a fix, and push back to community (he's on
leave just now so I can't commit to that just now).

Mark, the other thing to check is the role the user has in Learn and
that this role has been mapped to an LTI Instructor role when setting
up the WebPA tool. For example, if the user is a Teaching Assistant
in Learn, make sure that Teaching Assistants are mapped as Instructors
in the WebPA LTI tool configuration.

If this turns out to be that issue, we've asked our apps folks to check
database for user type in all courses, rather than just the affected
one. We have a developer who has released an updated version of WebPA
for php v7 recently, I'll ask him to have a looksee...
Mark.

Has the bug been reported anywhere? This is the first time I have
heard about it. That is the first step in getting it fixed. Once
known within the community I suspect there will be someone willing to
fix it. Details of how to replicate the issue are always valuable as
they can save a lot of time in identifying the cause. Reports should
also include details of the versions of code being used.

Given the lack of updates for years, how likely is a big fix going to
be?

This sounds like a serious bug and the suggested workaround
presumably
means that the user will be given tutor access to modules on
which they
should only be a student. Has anyone submitted a fix for this
bug?
