Roles allow you to define the permissions that users have within courses. Roles are course-specific, which means that a user can have different roles in different courses.

   • User can administrate the course
   • User can create content in the course
   • User can copy, delete or archive the course
   • User sees all course statistics
   • User can take part in the course as a learner
4. Click Save.

Notes

• Create roles that are as clear and purpose-specific as possible (for example, Trainer or Learner).
• If you modify a role, the changes apply to all users who are assigned that role.
• The environment includes four built-in roles with the most common default settings. These roles cannot be edited.
