What is a Course Author?

The Course Author can change the details of a course (see: Authoring Guide). There are various different permission levels within Course Authoring.

Authoring permissions have an expiry date which was set when you initially requested permission. If your access has expired, please contact Grok Support to give you access again.

Getting course authoring permissions

If you need access to additional permissions, please contact Grok Support, provide your course name, and describe what information you are trying to edit.

Examples of Authoring permissions:

Change the course title
Change course dates
Change Visibility of the course
Change whether the course is Released
Change assessments
etc

Due to the level of permissions granted, we typically reserve Course Authoring permissions for university lecturers.

Viewing course authoring permissions

Your own authoring permissions are shown at the top of the Admin homepage.

If you want to view authoring permissions for everyone at your institution, go to Admin -> View -> Admin Access.
