What+are+Roles?



Roles in Moodle define what an individual may do with respect to accessing Moodle content and editing the Learning Management System (LMS). There are 4 roles that you will most likely be interested in they are:
 * Roles In Moodle**


 * **Teacher**
 * **Non-Editing Teacher**
 * **Student; and**
 * **Guest**

With a knowledge of these 4 roles, you will, as a teacher be able to edit the content in your course. A Non-editing teacher will have limited access to assist with certain aspects of your course. Students, once enrolled in your course can participate in all course activities, Guests have very limited access and it most generally used in order to show someone your course.

A **Moodle Administrator** will have to assign roles of all individuals. It is important that you have access and try to develop a good working relationship with your Moodle Administrator, if you do not have Admimistrator privileges. In order to set up new courses and make some major changes, this will have to occur at the Administrator level.

Once you have been assigned your roll by an administrator you may functions with the capabilities that are listed above. You will notice that various privileges are assigned to each role and they work very well. One note about roles, if you are a **Teacher** as opposed to a **Non-editing teacher**, you will have the ability to make changes within your course. You want to make sure that you are assigned this roll if you plan on making changes to your Moodle course.
