CodePudding user response:

The role_capabilities table is for role capabilities not user capabilities, so there isn't a userid column

Capabilities (permissions) in Moodle is quite complex. There are capabilities at various levels (context) - site, category, course, module/activity, block, user. The capabilities are assigned to a role and a user is assigned to one or more roles. The capabilities can also be overridden. So it's not straightforward.

I'd suggest looking through /lib/accesslib.php at the various get functions to see if there an existing function that does what you want.

The list of capabilities will also be very long, so probably not suitable for a block.

You can see a list of capabilities for a user at

Site administration > Users > Permissions > Check system permissions

and a list of capabilities for a role at

Site administration > Users > Permissions > Capability overview
