The problem is I have
a foot in my mouth :-I.
I thought I could do
anything as a 'sysadmin'
but I had to assign new roles first.
Then most of the doors opened

I had one problem opening Notebook
as a Learner. See attached error report.

In Moodle the problem of starting
a lesson remains. Nor can I set
a starting date.
Cheers, Anders

I discovered that my mdl_user
had a limited role. I saw this
when logging in to LAMS v2
separately. I assigned all
possible roles to this user
but still nothing happens...

Anders,

The roles that the user gets in LAMS is indirectly based on what privileges the user has in Moodle.

By assigning all possible roles to the user in LAMS you have made sure that the problem with creating a lesson isn't a LAMS security problem and that was a very good thing to try.

I'm trying to work out what to ask you to do next.

What roles/privileges does your user have in Moodle?

My test user in Moodle has Adminstrator, Course Creator, Teacher and Student. But I think you only need Teacher and Student - I'm pretty sure I don't have Administrator rights on the http://moodle.lamscommunity.org/ website.

I do very little with Moodle, so please forgive me if I get the wrong names for things in Moodle.

I am admin in my Moodle instance.
Admin has all the rights in all
the other roles and more. Your
Moodle names are correct. Teachers
can have editing rights or not though.
It's also so that on course level e.g.
as an editing teacher you can rename
teacher/student to whatever you prefer.
With the new (1.7) expanded roles system
you can construct the roles you need
from top level to the minutest detail
on the bottom level in a very flexible
XML-tree manner.
