Users

A user is a participant who is allowed onto a Moodle site. In version 1.7, users can be assigned roles on the site, course and activity levels. Roles determine the permissions or rights of a specific user in a context, such as a specific course or even a specific course activity. Typical user roles are administrators, teachers, and students.

This page will offer links to learn more about specific ways an administrator or teacher can work with user definations and functions.
