[Moodle] Roles and permissions

[Adam Barbary]

If people are appearing in your courses, then this is a problem with  
high level access. Remember that you can assign roles at the site  
level, area leve(KLA)l and course/class. If people are listed as  
course creators at the top (site) level, they automatically appear in  
every course under this. Only Admins are "invisible" . I have found it  
to be most affective having only the most competent and trusted staff  
in the top area admins. We have 5 (probably too many, but it does work  
at the moment.) We have no middle mangers, and the teachers are in  
control of their own courses. I, or one of the other admins, creates  
each course, and that suits us fine at the minute.

Cheers,
