About User Roles
User Roles are a set of permissions assigned to users that allow them to carry out tasks across the BetterExaminations system. If the permissions for a User Role are updated, the permissions for all Users assigned that Role will change.
Course roles can be used to assign different permissions to users depending on what course they are in.
User Roles can only be managed by Users who have "Manage organisation settings" enabled.
To manage User Roles go to Settings and select User Roles from the Jump to section... dropdown:
Create a new User Role
To create a new User Role select +Create user role to display the Edit role window where you can name your User Role:
Manage an existing User Role
To manage an existing role select the User Role name or the Manage role button to show the Edit role window:
