Template:Moodle 1.7 The 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.

Hidden assignments

Template:Moodle 1.8

  • 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.
