The privileges assigned to Administrative User Roles and Course Roles can be modified by the Administrator to control access to the different areas of the System Control Panel and Course Control Panels. The User Privileges page lists the privileges assigned to each role and each privilege can be changed to include or exclude roles.
Note: Section 1, User Privileges for All Users, includes privileges for both Administrative User Roles (the first set under the Portal Tool Links heading) and Course Roles (the second set under the Course/Organization Tool Links). Use caution when setting these privileges to reconcile user access to the tools through the portal and user access through a course. It should also be noted that privileges for the tools on Portal pages are controlled by Administrative User Role, and not by the Portal Role!
In most cases, users such as Students and Instructors will have an Administrative User Role of None (N).
Click User Privileges from the Security and Integration section of the System Control Panel.
The tables on the User Privileges page have the privileges for row headers and the applicable roles as the column headers. To see if a privilege is applied to a row simply line up the privilege with the row. A check mark indicates that a user with that role has access to that content or tool.
To modify a privilege, click Modifyin the row for that privilege.
