Overview of role

A role is assigned to a participant and determines their status or privilages in the context of a site, course or activity. Site roles are assigned in the administration block, Users>Permissions>Assign roles. Course roles are assigned in their Administration block menu under Assign roles.

This page is about assigning an existing role to a user.

Description of roles

Moodle comes with 6 pre defined roles. It is possible to add other roles in the site administration block under User.

- AdministratorAssign admins
- Course creator Course_creator
- Teacher Teacher
- Non-editing teacher
- Student Student
- GuestGuest access

Assign/Edit Roles

The Assign roles link will call up the assign role screen. Here users are placed in role catagories. It is possible to assign 1 participant to multiple roles. This includes the context of the site, of an individual course and of multiple courses.

In the image below, we are ready to another site user on the right then click on the add left arrow button to join Mr. Witt. We could remove Mr. Witt from the course as a student, by highlighting his name, then clicking on the add right arrow button.

OverRide Role

The Override role tab allows a user with the necessary role privilages to give and take away privilages for other roles in the context of a course.

-To assign a role to another 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 selected a role, two lists appear: the list of users who currently have that role, and the list of users who don't. We can locate Ali in the second list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add Ali's account to the list of Course Creators.
