Roles
mini guide
Note: Much of the material in this page is unique to HUJI Moodle, including:
Roles are divided into
Primary roles
and
Secondary roles
.
Primary roles
are divided into
Enrollable roles
and
Other roles
One cannot assign more than one
Primary role
to a user
One can assign a
Secondary role
only to a user who already has a
Primary role
This is achieved as follows: Only
Enrollable roles
can be selected in the
Enrol users
popup (on the
Enrolled users
page); Only
Other roles
can be selected in the
Assign roles
popup (on the
Other users
page). Users who already have a
Primary role
are shown in both popups but cannot be given another role. (Either
Enrolled
or
Assigned
is shown, depending on whether the user has an
Enrollable
or
Other
role). The
(
Assign roles
) buttons in the
Enrolled users
and
Other users
pages show only
Secondary roles
All
Other users
and
Secondary roles
listed below
Enrolment method
of
Auto
. (Not the standard Moodle
Enrolment method
of the same name)
Option to restrict
Guest access
to authenticated users and/or a period of time
Automatic unenrolment of self-enrolled students
Colored asterisk marking self- and manually-enrolled users
What roles can I assign?
Primary roles
Enrolled users
(aka
Participants
)
Teacher
: Can edit the course, manage users, and grade students
TA
: Same as
Teacher
Student
: Can participate in activities
Grader
: Can grade students
Other users
(aka
Assigned users
or
Hidden users
)
Coordinator
: Same as
Teacher
Secretary
: Can enrol/unenrol users, export grades and post to the
News forum
Colleague
: Similar to a
Guest
but can view also hidden content
Visitor
: Similar to a
Guest
. Useful if
Guest access
is disabled
Secondary roles
Restricted
: Can see only ID (aka
Mispar Zehut
) of users
Very restricted
: Can see only Moodle ID number of users
X-ray eyes
: Can also view hidden content
Editor
: Can also edit the course
Utility user
: Useful for giving users additional capabilities
A user cannot have more than one
Primary role
in a course.
Users can be enrolled (using the
Enrol users
popup) on the
Enrolled users
page and assigned other primary roles (using the
Assign roles
popup) on the
Other users
page.
Enrolled users can be assigned a secondary role on the
Enrolled users
page, and other users can be assigned a secondary role on the
Other users
page, both using the
(
Assign roles
) buttons.
In the
Enrol users
and
Assign roles
popups, a user who already has a
Primary role
is marked as
Enrolled
or
Assigned
(depending on whether he is an
Enrolled
or
Other user
) and cannot be given another role.
One can
Switch role
only to a
Primary role
What is the difference between an
Enrolled user
(aka
Participant
) and an
Other user
(aka
Assigned user
or
Hidden user
)?
An
Enrolled
user is considered to be a course
Participant
i.e. he appears in the list of
Participants
and in menus of participants (e.g. in the
Reports
log). He can be a member of a
Group
and can be subscribed to forums. Only a
Participant
(
Teacher
,
TA
or
Grader
) receives
Notifications
and can be a
Marker
in an
Assignment
(when
Marking workflow
is used).
What is the difference between
Teacher
,
TA
and
Coordinator
?
There is no difference between a
Teacher
and a
TA
(except that a
TA
can't assign or override the role of
Teacher
). A
Coordinator
has similar capabilities to a
Teacher
or
TA
but is not a course
Participant
.
What is the
X-ray eyes
role?
A user with the additional role of
X-ray
eyes can access the course even if it is not
available
and can access activities, resources and blocks even if they are hidden. It can usefully be assigned at the level of an activity, resource or block. It is especially useful in combination with
Test users
to test a course before it is available.
What are the
Restricted
and
Very restricted
roles?
Unlike most of the other roles, these roles
revoke
capabilities rather than
grant
them. A user with one of these secondary roles sees only ID number (Mispar Zehut) or Moodle ID respectively. He cannot see first and last names. Email addresses and links to the messaging system are also not shown. It can be useful to grant one of these roles to a
Grader
. It is not entirely bulletproof: If the user has access to another course with the same participants, in which he is not restricted, he can compare ID numbers or Moodle IDs.
What is the difference between a
Guest
and a
Visitor
?
There is no difference in capabilities. If
Guest access
is disabled, a particular user can be given access by assigning him the role of
Visitor
What is the
Utitity user
role?
In fact, there are several
Utility user
roles.
It is possible to adjust the capabilities of
roles
but not of individual users. Occasionally it may be necessary to grant just one, or a few users, an extra capability. The only way to do this is to grant the capability to one of the utility roles and assign the user/s that utility role.
Is there any difference between a
Grader
with the secondary role of
Editor
and a
Teacher
?
Only a
Teacher
(or
TA
or
Coordinator
) can:
Manage users (i.e. enrol/unenrol users, assign/unassign other primary and secondary roles, add/delete
Group
members and manage
Enrolment methods
and
Groups
)
Backup
and
Restore
(and
Import
and
Copy from Moodle
)
Edit a student's submission and manage
Marking workflow
in the
Assignment
Delete, submit or unsubmit attempts in the
Quiz
Delete users' comments (in the
Assignment
,
Database
,
Glossary
and
Wiki
activities and in the
Comments
block)
Export grades to the
GR
grading system (currently, in CSE courses only)
What are
Enrolment methods
?
The
Enrolment method
is relevant to
Enrolled users
only. It can can be:
Self:
The user enrolled himself as a
Student
Manual:
The user was enrolled by a
Teacher
(or
TA
or
Coordinator
)
Auto:
The user is listed in the Shnaton (
Teacher
or
TA
) or by Minhal Talmidim (
Student
)
If a user's
Enrolment method
is
Self
or
Manual
, it is automatically changed to
Auto
when the user is added to the Shnaton or Minhal Talimidim. If he is deleted from the Shnaton, he is automatically unenrolled (even if his original
Enrolment method
was
Self
or
Manual
).
Does it make any difference whether a user's
Enrolment method
is
Self
,
Manual
or
Auto
?
A
Student
whose
Enrolment method
is
Manual
or
Self
is marked with a red or green asterisk, respectively, in the
Participants
page, and the
Assignment
and
Quiz
report pages.
Likewise, a
Teacher
or
TA
whose
Enrolment method
is
Manual
is marked with a green asterisk on the
Participants
page.
A
Student
whose
Enrolment method
is
Self
, is automatically unenrolled on the
End date
of the
Enrolment method
of type
Self enrolment (Student)
- by default four weeks after the start of the course.
The
Warning block
warns privileged users and self-enrolled
Students
appropriately.
So what is the
Enrolment method
of
Guest access
?
On the
Enrolment methods
page, in addition to the
Self
,
Manual
and
Auto
methods,
Guest access
is listed. It is not a true
Enrolment method
. A user who is accessing the course but does not have a role in it can be considered to have a temporary role of
Guest
. It can be restricted to
Authenticated users
only and/or to a particular period of time and/or by password.
In course listings, icons indicate whether
Guest access
is restricted to
Authenticated users
and/or by password.
By default
Guest access
is enabled only during the four weeks of the course.
The
Warning block
warns privileged users and
Guests
appropriately.
What role information is taken from the Shnaton and Minhal Talmidim?
A Moodle course is created for every course listed in the Shnaton. However, on personal request, Shnaton courses may bw effectively combined or split into several Moodle courses as follows:
Sister courses
: If a course is a
Sister
, students are, optionally, redirected to its associated
Base
course.
Kid courses
: A Moodle course is created for each, or some, of the Shiur or Targil or Lab groups listed in the Shnaton (or for each semester in the case of a multi-semester course). The name of the teacher is appended to the name of the course. The
Kid
courses are instead of, or in addition to, the
Parent
course.
The following are enrolled automatically (with
Enrolment method
of
Auto
):
A user listed as the teacher of a course in the Shnaton, or of a group in the case of
Kid
courses, is enrolled as a
Teacher
or
TA
depending on whether he is listed as the teacher of anything other than, or only a, Targil group.
Students registered to a
Sister
course are enrolled also to its associated
Base
course.
Students registered to a Shiur, Targil or Lab group, or registered in a particular semester, are enrolled also to the associated
Kid
course.
