About Course Roles

Course Roles are a set of permissions assigned to users within a course that allow them to carry out tasks within that course. Users can have different course roles in each of the courses they are assigned to.

User roles can be used to assign different permissions to users across the entire BetterExaminations platform.

Course Roles can only be managed by Users who have "Manage organisation settings" enabled.

To manage Course Roles go to Settings.

The Course roles section lists the existing roles and gives you the option to manage each role.
