1) The mentee cannot see the reports menu in the user settings (Admin block) if the course is set to separate groups. In lib/navigationlib.php function generate_user_settings change $canaccessallgroups = has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext); for $canaccessallgroups = has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext) || has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $usercontext); 2) The mentee cannot access the user-course page if the course is also in force group mode. In user/view.php arround line 145 change if (groups_get_course_groupmode($course) == SEPARATEGROUPS and $course->groupmodeforce and !has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext) and !has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext, $user->id)) { for if (groups_get_course_groupmode($course) == SEPARATEGROUPS and $course->groupmodeforce and !has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext) and !has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $coursecontext, $user->id) and !has_capability('moodle/site:accessallgroups', $usercontext)) { Additionally we need to add 'moodle/site:accessallgroups' permission to parent role. Add this to the documentation wiki.
