After you have created a course-level role, you can review the default permissions set by each course-level role. Permissions grant or deny access to specific features within a course and are applied to any user granted a specific course-level role. Users are added to a course role when they are manually enrolled in the course or via SIS import.

Depending on the role, you may want to override the defaults to create custom permissions.

To learn more about course permissions, view the Course Permissions PDF.
