Assign roles

File:Administration Block Roles IconLink.JPGThe Assign roles link will call up the assign role screen. Here users are placed in role catagories. It is possible to assign one 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 add 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.
