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

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.

Permissions:

- Permission to view all courses within the department.
- Permission to add students/teachers/course administrators as course participants. (Adding students may only be done under certain circumstances, however.)
- Permission to change course name or course code/reference code. Changing the course name is only permitted under certain circumstances, changing the course code/reference code is never allowed.
- Have access to all courses within the department; access to settings at both account-level and course-level and can view all information including logs, reports and statistics.
- Can create courses manually.
- The same permissions as Teachers but for every course within the department – without being added to the participants list.

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.

Permissions:

- Permission to view all courses within the department. (However, to be able to read the course material you have to add yourself as a teacher in the course.)
- Permission to add teachers/teacher's assistants/course administrators to the participants list in courses.

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.

Permissions:

- Permission to view all information in all courses within the department, including logs, reports and statistics.

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).

Permissions:

- can read everything on the course that is published, incl. posts and posts in discussion forums
- cannot be divided into groups and sections
- are not included in the list in Reviews
- cannot submit information or post in discussion forums
- cannot interact with others on the course
- cannot see other students on the course
- are not visible to other students on the course.

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.

Permissions:

- Read course messages
- Submit assignments
- View course calendar
- View and participate in discussions
- View and participate in the chat
