Time for action - Assigning the role to a user in a forum

Now that we have created the role, we need to assign it to a user in a forum. By assigning the Community Moderator role to a user in the forum context, we can allow that user the ability to edit the forum independently of the course creator.

  1. Go back to the CoP class and click the Turn editing on button.
  2. Select Forum from the Add an Activity menu.
  3. Give the forum a name. I've used Moderated Forum.
  4. Set the Description of the forum as you've done previously.
  5. For now, leave everything else as a default and click on Save and display.
  6. On the main forum page, select Locally assigned roles from the Settings block on the left.
  7. Select the Community Moderator role from the list of roles to assign.

  8. You'll then see the list of users enrolled in the course in a pick list on the right side of the screen and the users assigned to the role on the left. Select your community moderators on the right and click Add to assign them the Community Moderator role on this forum.
  9. Select Locally assigned roles from the Settings block again. You'll then see the list of roles and the number of people assigned to each role.

What just happened?

We assigned the community moderator role to a community member. The user with this role in the forum can edit posts and perform other moderator's duties.

Have a go hero

Moodle manages permissions based on the context where the user has a given role. So anyone assigned Community Moderator in this forum doesn't have the moderator privileges throughout the course. If you wanted to allow a user to edit every forum in the community course, how would you assign their role?
