Roles and Permissions
Account and Course-level Roles
In Studium there are two types of user roles: account-level users and course-level users. Below we will explain the differences between account-level roles and course-level roles and how you can apply for one.
Account-level roles
Every department in Studium has its own sub-account in which account-level roles can be added. Users with account-level roles have special permissions within the entire department.
Apply for account-level roles here: https://behorighet.its.uu.se/start Links to an external site.
In cases where there are many employees at the department who all need the same permissions, you can email a list to support-elarande@uadm.uu.se containing the user ID for these people and what role they should have. Once the permissions are added, we will notify the administrator and head of the department.
Account-level roles:
- Department Administrator (Institutionsadministratör)
- Department Administrator Light (Instadm Light)
- Reading permissions (Läsrättighet)
Course-level roles
Course-level roles can be assigned by a user with account-level permissions. Course-level roles are course specific, meaning the users only have permissions within a specific course. The most common course-level role is Teacher.
Teachers are added to their course in two steps: A user with account-level permissions adds a teacher to the course and gives them the course-level role Course Director or Teacher, depending on what is preferred. Once the Course Director/Teacher is added, they can begin to add their colleagues.
Notice! It is NOT allowed to add students to LADOK courses as these students will be imported to the correct course automatically from LADOK using the Ladok-LIS adapter. In non-LADOK courses, a Department Administrator will manually add participants to their courses and give them the course-level role: Student.
Course-level roles:
- Ej registrerad (Not registered or Observing: Nobody)
- Registered student (Student registrerad)
- Participant
- Teacher
- Course Administrator (Kursadminstratör)
- Course Director
- Programme Administrator
- Observer
- Teacher's Assistant
- Designer
- Amanuens reading permissions (Amanuens läsrättighet)
Account-level roles
Department Administrator (Institutionsadministratör)
The most extensive account-level role in Studium, assigned by a system administrator after the user sends in an application. Departments can have several department administrators, (usually course administrators). These users can add you as a Teacher in your course.
|
Department Administrator Light (Instadm Light)
This role is given to those who wish to see all courses within the department as well as the ability to add themselves and others into the department’s courses. This role is assigned by a system administrator after user sends in an application.
|
Reading permission (Läsrättighet)
This role is assigned to users who want permission to view all courses within a department, for example: a student counsellor. This role is also given if the department requests for all teachers to have reading permissions for all courses within a department.
|
Course-Level Roles
Not registered or Observing: Nobody (Ej registrerad)
When admitted, the students are transferred to Studium and are given a limited role, which for the students is called Ej registrerad. Teachers and administrators see the role name as Observing: Nobody, which is because the role is based on the existing role Observer and we cannot change what it says in the participant list (People).
|
Registered student (Student registrerad)
Once the students are registered, they are imported from Ladok to their courses in Studium and given the course-level role: Registered student (Student registrerad). In non-LADOK courses, a Department Administrator will manually add participants to their courses and give them the course-level role: Student.
|
Participant
Participants is a role given to people participating in the course who are not students. For example, certain commissioned training and courses serving as user guide/manuals. Participant permissions are the same as for the role Registered student (Student registrerad).
Teacher
The course-level role Teacher is given by department administrators to users who will be teaching during a course. A teacher in Studium can add and manage different functions and tools within a course. A teacher can also add other teachers, teacher's assistants and course administrators to their course.
|
Course Administrator (Kursadministratör)
The course administrator has the exact same course-level permissions as a user with the teacher role; it simply has a different name. This role is used to add the user to the participants list with the role of course administrator.
Course Director
The course director has the exact same course-level permissions as a user with the teacher role; it simply has a different name. This role is used to add the user to the top of the participants list with the role of course director.
Programme Administrator
Programme administrators are added to courses that are intended to be program pages - where they are responsible for the content.
In Studium program pages and courses are created the same way. However, the difference is that program pages include participants from the entire program (not individual courses.)
|
Observer
Observers can be added to the course by a department administrator. Observer role is given to users who wish to view course content. When the Observer role is assigned, the user has access to the course without the ability to affect course content or participants.
|
Teacher's Assistant
The role: teacher's assistant is given to a user either by a teacher in the course or by a department administrator.
|
Designer
Designers can be added to a course by either a teacher or by a department administrator. This course-level role is assigned to a user who helps build the course but will not participate in the course.
|
Amanuens reading permissions (Amanuens läsrättighet)
The role is given to students that assist courses.
