bCourses admin roles allow local IT and instructional support staff to manage and configure courses and provide enriched support to users within a department. Because departmental administrative access grants access to instructor material that is not otherwise shared, the admin access requires the approval of an academic dean or department chair to authorize an employee to have view and edit access to all bCourses sites and user accounts within their department.
Some bCourses admin roles include:
Instructional Support Admin permissions, which includes...
- Add courses
- Manage/update courses

- View course content
