00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on User Roles in Moodle. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn how to: assign admin role to a user, |
00:13 | assign a teacher to a course and enrol a student in a course. |
00:20 | This tutorial is recorded using: Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04, |
00:28 | Apache, MariaDB and PHP obtained through XAMPP 5.6.30,
Moodle 3.3 and Firefox web browser. |
00:42 | You can use any web browser of your choice.
However, Internet Explorer should be avoided as it causes some display inconsistencies. |
00:54 | Learners of this tutorial should have some courses created on their Moodle website. |
01:01 | If not, please refer to the previous Moodle tutorials on this website. |
01:08 | Switch to the browser and login to your Moodle website using your admin username and password. |
01:16 | We are now in the admin dashboard. |
01:19 | Let us go to the Course and Category Management page. |
01:24 | Make sure you have these courses on your Moodle interface.
If not, pause the tutorial to create them and then resume. |
01:34 | Let us view all the users that we created. |
01:38 | Click on Site Administration. |
01:41 | Then click on the Users tab. |
01:44 | Under the Accounts section, click on Browse list of users. |
01:50 | We now have 4 users. |
01:53 | Let’s click on the user Priya Sinha and edit her profile. |
01:59 | So, click on Edit Profile link in the User details section. |
02:04 | Scroll down and locate the Optional section.
Then click on it to expand it. |
02:11 | Notice that the fields Institution, Department, Phone and Address are populated.
These are the ones we entered in the CSV file. |
02:23 | Let’s go back to the list of users again.
To do so, click on Site Administration -> Users -> Browse list of users. |
02:33 | Let us assign administrator role to this user, System Admin2. |
02:39 | On the left menu, click on Site Administration and then on the Users tab. |
02:46 | Scroll down to the Permissions section and click on Site Administrators. |
02:52 | There are 2 set of users here.
First set has the names of the current site administrators and the second set has the list of all other users. |
03:05 | In between the two lists, there are buttons to perform various actions. |
03:11 | From the Users box, let’s click on System Admin2 user. |
03:17 | If there are too many users, use the Search box below the Users box for searching.
And then, click on the Add button. |
03:26 | In the Confirm box, click on Continue button. |
03:30 | There are 2 admin users now.
We can have as many admin users as we want. |
03:38 | However, there can be only one Main administrator.
The Main administrator can never be deleted from the system. |
03:48 | Let us now assign Rebecca Raymond as the teacher for the Calculus course. |
03:55 | To do this, go to the Course and category management page, as shown here. |
04:02 | Click on 1st Year Maths subcategory to see the courses under it. |
04:09 | Click on the Calculus course. Scroll down to see details of the course.
Click on Enrolled Users. |
04:19 | We can see that the user Priya Sinha has been enrolled to this course. |
04:25 | We did this through the upload user CSV. |
04:29 | In Moodle, everyone, including the teacher, needs to be enrolled to the course. |
04:35 | The new role to be assigned to them depends on their current role in the course. |
04:41 | Click on Enrol users button either at the top right or bottom right. |
04:48 | A pop-up window opens. |
04:51 | It has a dropdown for Assign roles, fields for Enrolment options and a Search button. |
05:00 | We can see a list of all the users, currently not assigned to this course. |
05:06 | In the Assign roles dropdown, select Teacher. |
05:11 | Then click on the Enrol button, next to Rebecca Raymond. |
05:16 | Lastly, click on Finish Enrolling users button at the bottom of the page. |
05:24 | Students can be assigned to a course in a similar manner. |
05:28 | To un-assign Rebecca Raymond from her Teacher role, click on the Trash icon in the Roles column. |
05:36 | In the Confirm Role Change popup box, click on Remove button. |
05:42 | The Assign role icon here, can also be used for assigning a role to already enrolled users. |
05:50 | Click on it to open a small pop-up window with all role names. |
05:56 | Click on Teacher to assign teacher role to Rebecca Raymond.
The box closes on its own. |
06:04 | Users can be un-enrolled from a course by clicking on the trash icon at the extreme right. |
06:11 | The gear icon towards the right, is for editing the user enrolment details.
Click on it. |
06:20 | This has an option to suspend the user and change the enrolment start and end dates. |
06:28 | Click on the Cancel button to go back to the enrolment page. |
06:33 | With this, we come to the end of the tutorial.
