List/Modify Users in Course

Overview

Administrators view users that participate in a course and update user information from the List/Modify Users in Course page. User profiles and roles for specific courses are updated by clicking Properties that appears next to user information. Administrators can also change a user password by clicking Password. In addition, the Administrator can send an email to a user by clicking on the user’s email address in the Email column.

User records or User Enrollment records that are set to Unavailable are preceded by a circle symbol with a slash through it. Also, the record will appear in gray text with the exception of the email address, which may still be clicked to send a message to the user. To make a record available, click Properties to modify the record and change the availability setting.

With Blackboard Learning System User records and User Enrollment records may also be disabled in the database. Disabled users records are preceded by a circle symbol with an ‘x’ through it. Like unavailable records, disabled records will appear in gray text with the exception of the email address. For more information on the properties of disabled records, please see the Blackboard Learning System Advanced Integration and Data Management Manual.

Icons to denote a state of unavailable or disabled will appear next to the User Name if applicable to the User record. If applicable to the User Enrollment record, the icon will appear next to the User Role.
