Add a User to a Course

Anyone with instructor level access to a course has the ability to add other users (TAs, designers, co-instructors) to their WebCampus courses.

The different course permissions associated with a course role are defined in the table below:

WebCampus Course Roles and Permissions

Role Permissions
Teacher This grants a user full access to a course with the ability to add/remove content, view assignment/quiz submissions and the gradebook.
Note: Teachers do not have the ability to change start/end dates for a section. To change the start/end dates of your sections, please submit a service request.
TA

This is similar to Teacher/Instructor access to a course with the following exceptions:

  • TAs are not able to add other users to a course
  • TAs are not able to review LockDown Browser videos when a webcam is required for a test
  • Courses are hidden from TAs 2 weeks after the semester ends
Librarian Primarily used to grant a UNLV librarian access to your course. Users with those role have the ability to add/remove/edit content in the course, but cannot add users, view student submissions, or access the gradebook.

Designer & Learning Design Support

 These two roles have the ability to add/remove/edit content in the course, but will not have access to student submissions nor have the ability to edit/assign grades. Designers will have read only access to a course once the semester concludes.
RCA RCA = RebelFlex Classroom Assistant. This role is used specifically for RebelFlex courses. It grants a designated student assistant the ability to access the Zoom link in a course to help moderate the Zoom session and the ability to post announcements in the course.

This provides a user view only access to your course. Students can access content and message individual members of a course, but are unable to send a message to the entire course. Courses are hidden from students 2 weeks after the end date listed in MyUNLV.

Student adds/enrollments are managed via our integration with MyUNLV. If you would like someone manually added as a student to your course(s), please submit a service request.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • We were unable to find matches error message: Either the ACE ID or the email address you entered is not associated with the user you are attempting to add or the user does not exist in WebCampus. Try to add the user using a different criteria (see step 3 above) or contact the IT Help Desk to verify that a user exists in WebCampus.
