User access rights increase with each role. Someone with Dozent level access also has all the rights associated with Autor level access.
Lecturers and those who have dozent level access to a specific course can allocate roles to the participants of that course. This is done in the Participants section of the course.
| Participant type | User access rights |
|---|---|
| Preliminary participant | None (until confirmed as participant by a user with dozent level access). |
| Reader | Read-only access to course content |
| Member | Autor / student access: these users can create content and delete their own contributions. |
| Tutors | These users can delete content that was produced by others. |
| Dozent / Leitung / Lecturer | Course administration: these users can add members / participants, change user roles of each participant, and create new courses. |
People with dozent access can remove participants from their courses. However, users can re-register for the courses unless some restrictions were implemented in the access permissions settings of the course.
