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.
Assigning users the role of student i.e. enrolling them on the course
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.
