Rights Groups

Good to know

To extend the rights of regular roles ((group) coach, (group) participant), so-called rights groups can be set up and the participants entered there can be equipped with the desired rights. For example, a group of tutors can be given the right to edit member management.

How to proceed

  1. In the course menu at the top under Administration, click on Member management.
    • Member management opens.
  2. Select Groups in the menu on the left.
    • A list of all groups in the course is displayed.
    • To avoid confusion, create a new group for the rights group and name it uniquely (e.g., Tutors).
  3. Click on the Create group button on the right.
    • The Create new group window opens.
  4. Give the group a comprehensible name and click Finish.

  7. Find your created group and check the corresponding rights as desired for coaches and/or participants and save your entry.
  8. Select Members in the menu on the left to enter the participants into the new group.
    • The list of all members opens.
    • If the desired persons are not yet course members, add them as members (see Member Management).
