Hello Kristina, Sadly I've neither funds, nor time (chronic shortage) to develop this. Would it help if we argued that it's a bug rather than just a feature request :) - justification logical practice case might be Step 1) Develop template pages you want students to use as basis for an exercise Step 2) Add those resources to a group (or develop them in the group) Step 3) Add students to group Step 4) Make group editable by students
Expected Result) Students can edit the template resources Actual Result) Students can't edit resources because they only have view permission on things created before group permissions were changed Workaround) Admin goes through the tedious job of updating permissions for every individual artefact (assuming they know how to find that hidden setting). Better Solution) Changing group permissions gives a prompt "do you want to apply this change to all existing group artefacts? Yes/No" - if yes then updates existing editing rights to all group/page artefacts.

(Sort of like doing "chmod -R".) Currently, permissions on artefacts have to be edited individually, which can pose problems if the "Create and edit pages" permission dropdown is changed after a group has already been around for a while. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Hi, As everyone assigned as a group admin on Mahara gets notifications when people request group membership we've tried switching staff to the tutor role in course groups, with the permission set 'everyone except ordinary members can edit' The staff are seeing the edit buttons, but when they click on artefacts to edit they are unable to make changes - eg to amend an existing text box. The text box opens but displays oddly and says 'the text you have selected is not editable' (see screenshot attachment). (Mahara version 1.63, LAMP environment). Thanks, Gordon.
