A teacher needs to have the 'Access to All student profiles' permission in Users and Groups in order to take attendance for another teacher's class, or to mark attendance for a student that is not in one of their classes. An admin user must add this permission for the teacher.

An admin staff member is able to take attendance for any class/group/individual by default.
