Totally understand. Entity with which I am working, that is totally un-acceptable. Can't blame them ... normally their network/workstations are in lock down mode and Moodle is about the only thing where they aren't 'restricted'. Personally, they need to be empowered to facilitate use of tech in their classroom. Powers that be don't quite see it that way, however. So it's Yin/Yang.
But thanks for the tip ... others might be able to set those permissions without disruption and none the wiser cept the server admin person (most oft left out of the planning/'dreams concerning usage,etc.).
