[Moodle] Unable to make teacher a Course Creator

We HAVE had that problem, and I think it disappeared when we upgraded to
moodle 1.6.
Also I think it may have been related to the user having had an account
created as Manual Authentication and later changed to LDAP.
I suggest that you rename the current user as dummy doesn't work or
something and issue a clean new account to the teacher and see if the
problem persists.

argument was that the concession stand prices are outrageous. Besides, I

Greetings. Yes I understand that teachers have to be assigned as Course
Creators but every time I do that for this particular teacher, it reverts
back to the original. I have tried recreating the userid in MS AD but still
no joy. I also tried a restart of the server.  It seem a weird one. I don=92=
t
get this problem with any other teachers.

 

This is what happens.

 

I make that teacher a Course Creator by moving her from Potential Course
Creator over to Course Creator. Is there an =93update=94 button? I can=92t f=
ind
it. Anyway, I just log out and then log in again and she is still showing up
as a Course Creator.

 

I then log her in and the screen she get is not that of a Course Creator. I
quickly check the Course Creator list again and find that she is no longer
there. She has gone back over to the Potential Course Creator list. 

 

Any ideas ?

 

Alan

Hi Stephen. Thanks for the reply. The issue here is that the teacher cannot
create any courses at all when first logging in. It=92s not like she has to=
 be
added as a teacher in a course created by another teacher.

 

Thanks

Alan

A staff member needs to be added as a "teacher" to each moodle course
separately before getting privileges as a teacher.

A staff member may be a teacher of one course and NOT have teacher rights in
another course (i.e. one that they do Not teach)

A student can be given rights of a teacher in one course that they are asked
to m=E9nage without any effect on the security of other courses.

 

I think that your teacher needs to be added to the teacher list in the
course or courses you speak of.

Hi all. 

 

I have a student Johnson.el who logs in to moodle and gets only student
views. I also have a teacher Johnson.e who logs into moodle and is also
getting student access only. The teacher is not able to create any courses.
Has any one encountered this kind of problem before ?

 

Thanks

ALan
