Site settings
From MoodleDocs
This page provides options for defining the appearance of the site homepage in versions of Moodle prior to 1.7.
The site homepage is effectively a course with id = 1 (usually). http://yourmoodlesite.org/course/teacher.php?id=1 may be used to give users other than admins editing rights (including the rights to post in a no discussions, no replies forum or add an entry to a teacher-only glossary) to the site homepage.
