At the moment, a user cannot import course contents from course A into course B unless he has the capability moodle/restore:restorecourse in the context of the source course.

However, according to MDL-24518, this should be controlled by the capability moodle/backup:backuptargetimport .

To reproduce, on a Moodle installation in standard setup:

• Create two courses, called "source" and "target". Create some labels in "source" (as example content).
• On "source", allow the following capabilities for the non-editing teacher role:
  • moodle/backup:backupcourse
  • moodle/backup:configure
  • moodle/backup:backuptargetimport
• Create a user "U" and enrol the user as follows:
  • into "source" as non-editing teacher,
  • into "target" as editing teacher.
• Log in as "U".
• Go to "target" and click on "Import".

EXPECTED: The list of courses displayed contains the course "source".
ACTUAL: The list of courses displayed contains only the course "target".

The underlying problem is that the list is filtered by courses on which the user "U" has the capability moodle/restore:restorecourse . This is done in the constructor of class import_course_search, which is inherited without modification from class restore_course_search.

Patch will follow.
