👫 New role type: assistants

There are often cases where you want to add someone to a course with restricted editing rights and access to data. With our new assistant role type it's now possible to do that!

If you're on the Lite plan or above, you are able to invite assistants from the course participants page. Simply click the Invite participants button and select Invite assistants.

Assistant permissions

An assistant has limited access to your course. They cannot make any edits to content or settings. Assistants can only access data from and interact with students that they have assigned. To assign students to an assistant, find them in the participants list, click the action menu button and select Assign students.

Select the students assigned to the assistant in the menu. The assistant will now only have access to data from their assigned students. That means the assistant will only be able to see completion data, submissions, reviews, discussion topics etc. from assigned students.
