      More information about this error

      Stack trace:

      • line 691 of /lib/accesslib.php: required_capability_exception thrown
      • line 50 of /course/scales.php: call to require_capability()

      The cause:

      This is caused because the scale is associated with courseid = 0 (a global scale) so the context is set to the site instead of the course that the user is currently in.
