These new settings are designed to enchance user privacy surrounding groups. They allow groups to be configured so that users outside the group cannot see the group, so that users in the group cannot see each other, or so that users cannot see the group at all, even if they are in it. This avoids issues where a group may be assigned based on sensitive personal information (such as a person requiring special arrangements due to a disability). By default, groups are visible to all and available for participation in activities, which maintains the current behaviour. For performance, a new cache has been added to track the number of groups on a course that are not visible to non-members. This allows us to revert to the existing behaviour if the new features are not being used at all on a course, and only apply the new visibility conditions if they are. Users who have the moodle/course:viewhiddengroups capability should be concious of exposing hidden groups when showing their screen to other users. The "Switch role to..." feature can be used to show a course page on screen without exposing private availability conditions, for example. The changes cover several specific areas: * grouplib functions, which most code should use to get lists of groups and members (this includes the participants page). * Activities supporting group overrides will not allow overrides for groups that are hidden from all users. * Activities supporting separate/visible groups modes will only allow groups with the new "participation" flag enabled to be selected. * Group messaging will be disabled for groups where members cannot see each other, or cannot see the group at all.
