Create a course with a database using the image gallery preset with a time restriction (not open yet) Enrol a couple of users as teacher and student in that course Enable "Mobile services": Site administration ► Mobile app ► Mobile settings Create a Token in the mobile app service for the student in the course: Click on Site administration ► Plugins ► Web services ► Manage tokens Next, you can do a CURL REST call simulating a WS client with the student. You need to replace the wstoken, databaseid (database instance id) and the URL of your moodle instance curl 'http://localhost/m/stable_master/webservice/rest/server.php?moodlewsrestformat=json' --data 'databaseid=13&wsfunction=mod_data_get_data_access_information&wstoken=12a2a65aeea2a177055e233f9e303218&moodlewssettingfilter=true' | python -m "json.tool" Now check that the field timeavailable is set to false Now, as teacher, edit the database removing the time restriction, change the settings to require a user at least to create 2 entries to view other user entries. As student in Moodle create a new entry in the database Execute the curl request again Check that timeavailable is set to true, canaddentry to true, entrieslefttoview is set to 1, inreadonlyperiod to false, numentries is set to 1
