Talk:Roles FAQ
From MoodleDocs
"Q: After upgrading, why are all course creators listed in every course?
A: The role of course creator is assigned in the site/system context and so applies site-wide."
By default the course creators don't have any editing rights to the course nor are they enrolled to to them, so this doesn't answer the core of the original question "why are they shown as participants in every course, when they are not?" --Samuli Karevaara 04:00, 30 March 2007 (CDT)
