+Feature: If there is no course yet, users with capabilities have a link to create new course
+  In order to create a course quickly
+  As a course creator
+  I can follow a link to create new course from my overview block
+
+  Background:
+    Given the following "users" exist:
+      | username | firstname      | lastname | email                | idnumber |
+      | creator1 | Course creator | X        | creator1@example.com | CC1      |
+      | teacher1 | Teacher        | X        | teacher1@example.com | T1       |
+    And the following "system role assigns" exist:
+      | user     | course               | role           |
+      | creator1 | Acceptance test site | coursecreator  |
+      | teacher1 | Acceptance test site | editingteacher |
+
+  Scenario: Course creators can see a link to new course form from my overview block
+    Given I am on the "My courses" page logged in as "creator1"
+    And I should see "No courses"
+    And I should see "Create new course" in the "region-main" "region"
+    And I should not see "Add a new course"
+    When I click on "Create new course" "link" in the "region-main" "region"
+    Then I should see "Add a new course"
+
+  Scenario: Teachers don't see any link to create new course at my overview block
+    Given I am on the "My courses" page logged in as "teacher1"
+    When I should see "No courses"
+    Then I should not see "Create new course"
