this is already done as role of instructor : Can edit the course that the user is assigned to as co-author but can’t edit other courses. To instructor user role just add capability to add users from backend .

about batch, what is the right or which role to manage batch ? I want a specific user role to manage all the batch whether he is a member of that batch or not. This would be tricky because in buddypress you can decide whether all users can create groups (groups are batches ). With this filter "" apply_filters( 'vibebp_user_can_create_groups', $can_create, $restricted ,$this->user->id) you can handle that kind of user . you can create a user role then we can share code to enable the group creation .

Well any user can manage the batch given that he should be the member and the admin of that batch/group . simple to add batch admin : first add the user as member and then promote her to admin . 2 . if you want her to edit other courses as well then you have to add her as co author of the course or add her as admin instead , we check manage_options capability for the admin to show all course under her account

1. Moderator of batch: can't see the learning progress of the batch ? What can batch moderator do ? I just want a role to view learners' progress without editing or changing anything in the batch Besides, I have many batches about what you told me before about the filter, can I make a custom role for a user to also manage all batches ? The situation right now is that I have to give admin account to everyone which has lots of security risks, I just want specific roles to do specific things.

set the batch stats visibility to mods in order to this : https://prnt.sc/155pwrk IF we can show all groups to this user in groups (groups= batches) then will it do the trick for you ?

[hothaibinh]

Yes thank, Now I can do that. But how about having a class of users that can be admin of all batch (to add and manage batch member) without the admin right of the whole sites ?

[Anshuman Sahu]

Well its easy you can add that user as admin or mod of that batch , there is no other setting available for this .

is there anyway to allow a user to add students to all courses without the right to edit the course ? or adding the user as co-author of the course without showing her an instructor in course page as she is not the instructor To sum up I just want to allow a staff to add students to courses without showing her in course profile and not allowing her to edit course

[hothaibinh]

I think I would like an instruction to duplicate an administrator role but remove the following rights: - Edit or delete content (course, quiz, units, questions, certificate) - Everything in wp-admin except for user management feature

[Anshuman Sahu]

Well you can add the user as co author in your courses : we can hide that author from appearing in the system . For the second requirement you can use this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ in order to create a new user role according to your needs .

[hothaibinh]

Hi, 1. How to hide the co-author ? 2. I know that plugin, however, I don't know which are the specific permissions I should look at ? I have no idea what it means by just looking at the name and I don't want to mess with it
