How do Administration Sites work?
First of all one should read these two step-by-step guides: • https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/group/info/step/adminsites1.pdf • https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/group/info/step/hierarchy7.pdf Here is a summary of the basic points: • an Administration Site is said to manage one or more (regular) sites; • members of Administration Sites are the only WebLearn users able to create new sites; • Administration Sites have 2 roles: admin and member; • participants with the member role: • can create sub-sites of any site where they have the maintain role; • cannot visit the Administration Site; • participants with the admin role: • can create sub-sites of any site where they have the maintain role; • can visit and ‘maintain’ the Administration Site and therefore can: • add tools; • make changes to the participant list; • assign roles to participants; • have automatic maintain rights in a site that is managed by the Administration Site without actually being a member of the site
