Course group roles

There are two types of staff members within Mahara — site staff members and institution staff members. So far in this chapter, you have seen how you can set up an institution staff member, but there is no difference as to what they can do.

You learned that a staff member is allowed to assign course roles to their groups. Let's have a look at the two different sets of roles that you can assign to your group as a staff member or administrator:

• Standard — Member and Admin: This is the default setup for a group and these are the only roles available to a standard user when setting up a group. Only group member and group administrator roles are allowed under this scheme.

• Course — Member, Tutor, and Admin: This can be chosen by site staff or administrators when setting up their groups. Notice how there is one extra role under this scheme — group tutor. Later on you will see what a group tutor is able to do in a group with course roles enabled.
