Assign roles
From MoodleDocs
- To assign a role to a user, first choose the type of role you wish to assign. For example, if we wanted to assign a Course Creator role to Ali, we'd choose "Course Creator" from the drop-down list. ("Course Creator" is one of the default role types that comes with Moodle - your installation may have a modified set of roles.)
- Once you have chosen a role, two lists appear: the list of users who currently have that role, and the list of users who don't. We can select Ali in the second list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add Ali's account to the list of Course Creators.
- Multiple users may be selected by holding down the Apple or Ctrl key whilst clicking on the users' names.
Hidden assignments
- To hide which role a user is assigned to, click the Hidden assignments check box before assigning the role to the user.
- This feature is useful for example if you don't want everyone with teacher rights listed in the course description.
- Note: The role assignment is not hidden from admins or teachers i.e. users with the viewhiddenassigns capability.
