What do the different forum roles mean?
In the Manage Forum Users page, the instructor can assign different roles to forum participants. The Manage Users page is accessed by clicking the Manage button to the left of a forum name in the main forum list. • Participant: Default role for students. Participants can read and post, but have no other privileges. • Moderator: Default role for Course Builder. Moderators can review/reject posts, and delete and modify posts. • Reader: Readers may view forum threads and replies, but cannot add any content. • Manager: Default role for instructors and TAs. The Manager role allows complete control over the forum and threads, forum settings, post moderation and grading. • Grader: Graders may review posts and enter grades but cannot modify postings or settings. • Blocked: Blocked users are prevented from accessing the forum.
