Hi Gordon,

I've re-titled this bug to track the request for a mass-permissions-
management tool for group artefacts.

Cheers,
Aaron

** Summary changed:

- Tutor rights but can't edit group pages
+ Feature Request: Group artefact permissions management tool

** Tags added: groups

** Description changed:

+ As described in the comments below, there are situations when it would
+ be useful for a group admin to be able to change the permissions for all
+ artefacts in their group, all at once. (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.
