Add Course Users

For Community, there are two ways to add users. First, you can manually add them through the steps below. Or, you can set up self-enrollment, and the users can enroll themselves in your container. For more information, please see our help guide on Self-Enrollment in Community.

For past Cougar Courses (Moodle), if you are looking to give a student access in order to finish an Incomplete, please see the Change a User's Role section below. If you are looking to give access to another instructor, it would actually be better to add them to the migrated course in current Cougar Courses (Canvas). If the course was not migrated to Canvas, we recommend migrating it and then giving the other instructor access to that container. Please see our help guide on how to Import Content into Canvas from Moodle.

1. While in your container, click on Course Dashboard above the Contents area on the right.

2. Select Participants. 

3. First, ensure the user is not already enrolled in the container. If they are already enrolled, they will not come up when you search for their name in Step 5.

4. If they are not already enrolled, click the Enroll users button at the top left or bottom right.

5. In the Enrollment options pop-up, type the name of the user in the Select Users search box. If the correct user does not come up, try searching by the email. If they still do not come up, it likely means they have not confirmed their Community account. 爆料社区 users just need to login to confirm their account. Non-爆料社区 users will need to create and confirm an external account. If the user did come up, click on the user's name in the search results. When they have been successfully selected, their name will appear in gray above the search box.

6. Repeat step 5 to add additional users with the same role.

7. Assign role: Select the appropriate role for the user(s).
   For Community:
   
   • Participant: for a user that needs to view published content and submit to activities.
   • Coordinator: for a user that needs to edit content and grade submissions.
   • Designer: for a user who needs only to edit content, but not view/grade submissions.
   • Reviewer: for a user that needs read-only access to a container.

8. Click Enroll selected users and cohorts.

Change a User's Role

You might need to change the role of a user who is already enrolled in your past Cougar Courses (Moodle) or Community container. For example, in Cougar Courses (Moodle) a student might need access to a hidden course in order to finish an incomplete. To give them access you would need to change their role.

1. Click on Course Dashboard above the Contents area on the right.

2. Select Participants.

3. Find the user in the list and click the pencil next to their current role.

4. Choose the desired role from the dropdown.

• • Participant: for a user that needs to view published content and submit to activities. Same as the student role in Cougar Courses.
  • Coordinator: for a user that needs to edit content and view/grade submissions.
  • Designer: for a user who needs only to edit content, but not view/grade submissions.
  • Reviewer: for a user that needs read-only access to a container.

5. If you wish to remove the previous role, click the X next to that role. 

6. Click the Save icon.
