Administrators can designate people to have the capability to view data on all users in the Manager Reports as opposed to just those they are managing.
Give the role a Name and a Short name, such as Regional Manager and regmanager. Give a description, such as “Role to allow Administrative view of Manager Reports.” The Archetype role is usually Authenticated user, but you can select another by the drop-down menu. Under Context types where this role may be assigned, click on System.
Be sure to click on Create this role before leaving the page.
The person who is given this role needs both to be given the role and to be a manager. Both are needed to see the admin manager view.
To give someone the Manager designation, go to the Refined Tools block on the Front Page. Select Managers/Locations and then Add a New Location/Manager.
See Adding a New Manager/Location for more information.
Any user with the Teacher role will be able to see and access the Refined Tools block and all the tools inside the block. In other words, the block cannot be limited so that Teachers view and access only one of the tools in the block. Teachers will see not only Reminders but also Managers & Locations, Tokens, etc.
Assign roles directly in your LMS that also provide roles in Adobe Connect meeting rooms, when the meeting is created inside the LMS. A teacher can be granted the capability Connect Host or Connect Presenter in the LMS, and this capability will automatically place them in the role of host or presenter inside the Adobe Connect meeting room, so long as the proper Adobe licensing is in place.
By default the role teacher (shortname: editingteacher) has the capability to add a Connect activity and is assigned the permission of Connect Host.
By default the role non-editing teacher (shortname: teacher) is assigned the permission of Connect Presenter.
A Connect Host can run every aspect of the meeting, create meetings and layouts and add pods. The Connect Presenter has access to share their screen and manage pods.
You can create a new role so that you can give the role of Host to some teachers but not to every teacher.
Proceed with enabling host or presenter capabilities (next section).
and set the contexts in which the role can be assigned. Then proceed with enabling host or presenter capabilities (below).
For either an existing role or a new role, if you want the users to have this role in every course in the system, enable the System context. If you want the user to have the role in one course only, select Course as the context. It’s possible to set multiple contexts for the same role but you will assign the role to users in only one context.
Proceed with enabling host or presenter capabilities (next section). Save changes before leaving the set-up page.
If you want the host to be able to create new meetings, also enable mod/connect:addinstance in this section. This is optional as the user with the Connect Host capability enabled can still run the meetings, depending on Adobe licensing (see below). If addinstance is not enabled, the teacher will not see the option to add Connect content to the course.
If you do not give your Teachers who are also Connect Hosts this capability, the teacher can still edit the meeting inside the course, regardless of who created it.
Before leaving, click on Save changes (or Create this role, if creating a new role) found at the top or bottom of the role definition page.
The recommended context for this permission is on the course (or category) level, but if you have Teachers who will be presenters in every course on the LMS, you can assign the role on the system level. Enable the context(s) before clicking on Save changes or Create this role.
When the list of system roles appears, click on the Teacher role, then filter for the name of the user(s) and highlight the name(s). User control-click to select multiple users. Then click on Add. If the Teacher will also be a Connect Host, click on the Connect Host role and add the user to that role, too.
Whether the host can open and run the meeting will depend on the Adobe Connect licensing that you have and the role assigned to the user in Adobe Connect. Most clients have the Named Host Pricing Model with a set quota of named hosts. At least one of the named Meeting Hosts must be in the meeting room to host the meeting. If you wish, you can assign the Meeting Host role to some or all of the users with the Connect Host role, up to the set quota for your license.
In this example, 21 users have the role of Meeting Host in Adobe Connect and there are four available spaces remaining of the original 25.
To learn more about creating, setting and assigning roles, see the Moodle documentation site at http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Roles_and_permissions.
The RT platform allows you to determine which system roles can see and access various categories. System roles can also determine what content is visible within a course but you can also assign the roles to users just within a course; they would have the role only in that course but not in another course. These two ways of assigning roles to job functions allow for customization of the content within Moodle, based on who a user is, what job they are performing or what corporate or academic sub-domain they are accessing on the LMS.
Enter the short name of whichever roles (separated by commas, no spaces) you wish to have access to this category. All LMS administrators automatically have access to all categories, but you can make a category visible to administrators only by inserting the role short name, admin, into the Show only to users with this system role field.
Enter the short name of whichever roles (separated by commas, no spaces) you wish NOT to have access to this category.
The ! is to be entered only once at the beginning and the field can be used only to indicate EITHER visible OR not visible: it will NOT support both at the same time. The “not visible” functionality is most useful when a category is visible to every role except for one or two.
Just click on the role, using shift to select multiple roles next to each other or ctrl-shift to select multiple roles that are not next to each other. (Ctrl-click removes a role that the content or section was restricted to.) Users without the designated role will not see the topic section, activity or resource.
When you restrict a topic, activity or resource by role, users who don’t have the required role will not see the content; it will be completely hidden for them.
See http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Assign_roles for more information about contexts.
NOTE: The RT Restrict Access feature replaces the role tag [[role#_____]] used in previous versions of the RT platform.
