Moodle: Adding Users to your Moodle Site

Students are automatically enrolled in the Moodle sites for the courses in which they are registered.*  An instructor, however, may need to provide access to other users for a variety of reasons. For example, there may be a peer tutor, a guest instructor, or a research librarian who needs access to the course.

• From the course homepage, click on the Participants link at the top of the page. 
• Click the blue Enroll users button. A pop-up window will appear.
• In the Select Users field, use the Search box to search for the user by name. Select the correct person from the drop-down list.
• In the Assign role field, choose the appropriate role for the user. (See below)
• Click the Enroll selected users and cohorts button

• Student This role is automatically given to a student who is registered for the course through Banner or Self-Service. Teachers cannot assign this role manually.
• Teacher This role is automatically given to the instructor(s) of record for the course. Teachers cannot assign this role manually.
• Unregistered Student This role is a duplicate of the Student role, but may be assigned to users by a Teacher. It has all the same permissions as the Student role.
• Guest Teacher This role is a duplicate of the Teacher role, but may be assigned to users by a Teacher. It has all the same permissions as the Teacher role.
• Non-editing Teacher This role is appropriate for a user who is performing traditional TA or grader duties in a course. The Non-editing teacher has the ability to assign grades to student work, but cannot otherwise edit the course page by adding, removing or modifying existing activities or resources.
• Course Assistant This role is appropriate for a user who is assisting the Teacher in building the course by adding resources or activities, but does not have access to student grades. 
• Ungraded Student This role has all the same permissions to participate in the course, but a user with this role does not appear in the gradebook. This role might be appropriate for a student auditing the course who will not submit graded work, or a tutor who needs access to the course materials and assignments.

* Registered students may not appear in the Participants list on a course Moodle page if they have not logged into Moodle recently. Enrollments are synced only when the student logs into Moodle, so any student who has not logged into Moodle since the time that they were registered for a course may not appear.
