Assign roles to enrolled users


Article Summary

There may be times when you want to assign roles other than Learner to users enrolled on your courses, such as giving a colleague the Trainer role so they can assist with course activities.

As a course admin you can do so by following these steps:

  1. Go to the course in which you want to assign roles. 
  2. Go to Administration > Course administration > Users > Enrolled users.
  3. In the Roles column you can see all assigned roles for each enrolled user.
  4. To assign a new role to a user, click the icon of a person with a plus sign () next to that user's existing roles.
  5. Select the new role from the pop-up, and it will then appear in the Roles column for that user. 
  6. If you want to remove an existing role (e.g. if you wanted an enrolled user to be a Trainer instead of a Learner), you can click the cross icon next to the role, then click Remove when prompted.
Only roles which can be assigned in the course context type are available to select. The course context type may be set by an admin by editing the role via Quick-access menu > Users > Permissions > Define roles. Only roles which a user is allowed to assign are available to select.
