As a Site Administrator (or user with the badges:manageglobalsettings capability) you can configure the general Badge settings by going to Quick-access menu > Badges.
These options set the default values for fields in a new badge form, but can be changed by a badge creator if necessary.
| Setting | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Badge issuer name | Set the name of the issuer. | The name will appear where the badges are displayed and may be the name of a specific individual (such as a Trainer) or the name of a group or organisation. |
Badge issuer contact details | Set the email address of the issuer. | This email address will be displayed where an individual is viewing the details of a displayed badge. For Open Badges v2.0 backpacks, this email address is used for authentication when publishing badges to a backpack. |
Salt for hashing recipient's email address | Using a hash allows backpack services to confirm the badge earner without having to expose their email address. This setting should only use numbers and letters. | For recipient verification purposes, please avoid changing this setting once issuing badges. |
Enable course badges | Allow badges to be created and awarded in the course context. | Course Creators and Editing Trainers will be able to create their own course-level badges. |
