In a course create a lesson with at least one content page and one question page. Configure the lesson to show the menu (Display menu option) Enrol one user as student in the course where the lesson is. As admin, enable "Mobile services": Site administration ► Mobile app ► Mobile settings Create a Token for the student user Click on Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens Next, you can do a CURL REST call simulating a WS client with the student user . You need to replace the wstoken, lessonid (the lesson instance value) and the URL of your moodle instance curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'lessonid=8&wsfunction=mod_lesson_get_pages&wstoken=12a2a65aeea2a177055e233f9e303218&moodlewssettingfilter=true' | python -m "json.tool" Confirm that you receive correctly the list of pages, check that you see the content page titles (you see only the titles of content pages, no question pages) Now, as admin edit the lesson and disable the "Display menu" option Execute the curl request again and check that you don't see page titles anymore
