I found what had happened, not sure if we did this after the upgrade or if is an artifact of the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7. Seems that as all our course teachers were part of the group "course creators" on the main site, this meant that they had a handle and membership of all the courses. I also spotted a line in the main configuration file that meant that all members of the teacher_group ldap object would automatically become a course creator upon login. Fixing both reversed all these odd staff enrollments. I am wondering what option I can gently turn on to allow some staff to enter site wide calendar entries.

I found that the upgrade from 1.6 to 1.7 put all teachers in the courses<br>even though they were not there before. Also my students seem to be<br>viewing every single course, but are not enrolled if this makes sense (I<br>
think it is part of the my courses block on our front page.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Robert<br>St Aloysius College<br><br><br>> I havnt checked this yet Phil .. am busy trying to get my head around the<br>> new roles system for giving users or objects different abilities. Teachers
