Can a module list user cases in its case list, and can those cases then be updated by that module?
Or are user cases specifically restricted to access by that user?
The use case I am thinking of, would be to allow a supervisor to update case properties on a subordinate's user case. For instance, to record a training or certification for that subordinate.
For this, you can leave the Case Management tab as "does not use cases." This controls the cases of the case type you've selected in your module.
The User Case will automatically be loaded into your form when you choose a form that has User Case setup.
One way to accomplish this is by loading the label text in a hidden variable's Calculate Condition and then reference that variable later.
Add the label text to the Calculate Condition of a hidden variable question type. For example, my_label_text
You can drag and drop that hidden variable, my_label_text, into the label portion of the question:
You can then add logic to save my_label_text as a case property in the Case Management tab. In your scenario you may also want to add logic to save whether or not the question was answered properly.

The user case is directly assigned to the mobile worker and it isn't recommended to reassign that case to anyone else.
If you need functionality like this, there are a few options: - Use a different case type that is assigned to the location (so that supervisors and supervisees can both use and update it). - Create a delegate case from the user-case that is assigned to the location. This will then make the user case appear for anyone who is assigned to that location (or can view that location's cases).
