1. The server must be set to display warning messages, if this is not already on then turn it on first via Site administration / Development/ Debugging. Set Debug messages to DEVELOPER and Display debug messages to on (ticked).
2. Create a new course for testing via Site administration / Courses / Add a new course.
3. Using the groups screen Participants / Groups create 2 new groups:
   • The first group set name to Example group and leave other settings default.
   • The second group set name to Hidden group and set group membership visibility to 'Hidden'.
4. Using Participants screen, enrol a test user account as 'Manager' on the course.
5. Using the permissions screen Participants / Permissions, filter for 'viewhiddengroups' capability, and click the bin icon to remove this capability from Manager role.
6. Log in using the test user account and go to the course page.
7. Click Add an activity or resource and choose Page activity type (it actually affects any type).
   • EXPECTED: You should see the settings form for the page activity, with no error messages.
8. Expand Restrict access, click Add restriction and choose Group.
9. Click on the Group dropdown.
   • EXPECTED (no change): It should show 'Any group' and 'Example group', but not 'Hidden group'.

Before fix, the error in description shows at step 7 (on my system this appears as a 'Whoops' screen).
