- Changed permission to get Site Admin button to "has_capability('moodle/site:configview', $context)". Previously we used "is_siteadmin()" to check for permission to show the button. This will allow more flexibility in allowing quick access to site admin area without having to make a user a site admin. you might only want to allow a user to manage badges. By giving them this permission they will get a link to site admin which will show them what they have access to.
