This page is to inform faculty and staff on how to change the role of an existing user in their course. It will also explain different options an instructor/admin might have regarding role options. This feature might be used for when a person's status in a course changes, therefore faculty may want to change the kind of abilities granted to that user.

Steps to Change the Role of an Existing User in a Course

  1. Under Course Management, go to Users and Groups in the left hand side menu.

    Only those with the “Instructor” role in a HuskyCT site have the ability to enroll other users.

Role Options

 View different role options.
  • Instructor: This role is automatically assigned to individuals designated in PeopleSoft as the instructor of record, but it can also be manually assigned to a user on a HuskyCT site if additional members with the HuskyCT Instructor role are needed. It includes the ability to perform all “Build” and “Teach” tasks. Those with Instructor role cannot un-enroll other Instructors.
  • Student: This role is automatically assigned to individuals registered for the class in PeopleSoft. Persons in this role can view and interact with whatever has been built into the site and made available. Individuals with Uconn NetIDs can also be manually added to a HuskyCT site in the Student role.
  • Teaching Assistant: This role includes both “Build” and “Teach” tasks and is essentially the same as the Instructor role with some limitations such not being able to enroll or un-enroll users.
  • Course Builder: This role includes “Build” capabilities but no access to the Grade Center.
  • Grader: This role will be automatically assigned to individuals entered into PeopleSoft as a Teaching Assistant for a course. This role provides access to the Grade Center but does not include “Build” capabilities. It can also be manually assigned to a user enrolled in a HuskyCT site.
  • Guest: This role allows for prospective students, alumni, and parents to view the course without making any changes to content. Users with this role are unauthenticated users.
