For example, a user with a role of \u2018Teaching Assistant\u2019 in one course can have a role of \u2018Instructor\u2019 in another course. The role a person is given will affect what tools they can access and actions they can carry out in a course. It is important to allocate the most suitable role for a member of staff, based on what they need to be able to see and do in a course. Roles are course specific. A person can only have one role per course but they can have a different role in each course they are enrolled on. The course role is set when a user is enrolled. In original view courses,\u00a0 you can change a user\u2019s role from Control Panel &gt; Users and Groups &gt; Users. For guidance on how to change user roles in Ultra view courses, please visit &#8220;Manage and enrol users&#8221; guide. Choosing the right role The following tables describe what each role can do, what access they have to the tools within a course and who would typically be given a particular role. They are designed to help you select the appropriate level of access you require or want to give to a person on a course. &nbsp; Role Who should have this role? What can you do?
