+Feature: Show capabilities for multiple contexts
+  In order to check roles capabilities
+  As an admin
+  I need to be able to see capability overrides on several contexts
+
+  Background:
+    And the following "courses" exist:
+      | fullname | shortname | category |
+      | Course 1 | C1        | 0        |
+      | Course 2 | C2        | 0        |
+    And the following "permission overrides" exist:
+      | capability                    | permission | role       | contextlevel | reference |
+      | enrol/category:config         | Allow      | student    | Course       | C1        |
