Bug Description

From Tim:
Can it be made possible for the Staff role to be able to enroll students in groups via CSV?

We are using a lot of controlled groups for submission, these groups are setup by various Learning Technologists who do not have site or institution admin rights. Where the group numbers are large the site/institution admins then have to populate the groups by CSV but it would be really helpful if this feature was available to the Staff role so that our Learning Technologists and other support staff could manage the bulk enrollments directly.

I have to set up submission groups for Assignments in Mahara regularly and to be able to use a CSV upload would help greatly and save a lot of time. Alex Ott.

Just to provide additional context on this issue, there is already functionality for admins to be able to create groups and update group members by CSV. So the change here would just be to grant that ability to staff as well. A fairly minor code change, probably.
