Assign Course Roles

OVERVIEW

Course level roles can be locally assigned within courses to give users various permissions for different possible actions.  Each course will need to be treated separately.

Use Case Example:

Imagine you're a training manager in a large corporate organization responsible for delivering internal staff training. You have a variety of courses on different topics, each requiring different levels of access and permissions streamlining administration and tailored access, ensuring that users have the necessary permissions.

For Example: You can assign the 'Course Instructor' role to subject matter experts who create and manage course content while assigning the 'Learner' role to employees who participate only in the training.

Step 1: Navigate to the applicable course in which you wish to assign a course role.
