# Assign the Course Creator role

If you are using Totara Learn, you may want to add a number of Course Creators to help create learning for your site.

To add a new Course Creator you will need to log in as either a Site Administrator or a Site Manager, then follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Courses and categories*.
2. Select the category to which you want to add a Course Creator.
3. Click **Assign roles** in the **Administration** block on the left.
4. Choose the **Course creator** role.
5. Browse or search for the user in the **Potential users** column.
6. Select their name(s).
7. Click **Add**.

The user will then appear in the list of **Existing users** and will no longer be available in the search list.

For more information on manually enrolling Course Creators, see [Manually enrol users](/totara-20/docs/manually-enrol-users).
