Rights of a group tutor

A tutor of a group has the following administrative rights, depending on the group context:

As a tutor of a working or learning group, you can:

edit all configuration settings of this group (title, description, group tools, ...)
view and use the group email address
add more users to the learning group or remove users

In addition to the above functions, tutors of a learning group have access to:

assessment tool if assessable course elements are used in the course.
exam control if a test course element with exam control is used in the course.

This access for learning group tutors is limited to users and data of the specific group for which tutoring rights have been granted.

When setting visibility and access rules for course elements, please note that users with group administration rights are not automatically affected by general restrictions such as "Blocked for learners" and might therefore see these course elements in the course view or have access to the course content.

For instructions on how to make course content only visible to a defined group of users, regardless of user roles, see the example on the help page Course-internal area for a limited user group.

Appoint a user as a group tutor

The following expandable area provides general instructions on how to add a user to a group as well as information about the functions available in the Members area.

Open group in the edit view

Open the Members tab in the group’s edit view:

1	Open the group and switch to the edit mode.
2	In the Manage members tab, you will find various lists (according to the users’ assignment) with the members of the group. The lists Owner and Member will always be available in this edit mode. The lists Invited and Waiting list will be displayed depending on the group configuration. All lists are identically structured. The header area of the lists contains different buttons to start various administrative functions, as well as the default button to configure the displayed table columns.
