Q1 Is there a reason why there is no permissions helper in Evaluations? 

Q2 We had a slight oddity. A site maintainer was creating a template, they selected 'Add suggested question' chose Instructor Effectiveness (category) and Skill (objective) (selcting all 3 questions), back on the template the clicked 'edit' and tried to change the layout. They see a red error message saying that there's a problem with the tool and the helpdesk have been informed. They see the same message if they try to change the rating scale.

But when I as a super admin try this it all works fine. This indicates it's a permissions problem but as there are only 4 permissions associated with the Evaluations tool I didnt know what to do.

I tried looking at the setting on the 'administer' page but none seemed to relate to the ability of a lecturer to change a suggested question.

There's two issues

1/ The error message should say "you don't have permission to do this" rather then there's been an error
2/ why is this opration forbidden?

If this is considered to bhe a bug I'll Jira it. I'm not familiar enough with the tool to know the implications.
