1: Adding staff to a session class

This is confusing me, I’m setting up my session classes, I can set up and add all my student users as learners, but every time I want to add a member of staff (other than the one who first set up the class) they are added as learners even though I’m using the “add staff” tab.

I’ve tried various combinations of role for the staff I’m trying to add, eg the last one I tried had only the “staff” role but they still end up under the learners heading. This is the first time I’ve set up classes for other members of staff so I hadn’t noticed this before.

AM I missing something blindingly obvious here?

Thanks

Try using the 'Sys Admin' screens instead of the 'User Admin' screens. That will allow you to move your current staff users from 'membership' rights to 'selection' rights.

If you're logged in as the original admin user, you'll get an option to choose 'Sys Admin' or 'User Admin' when you click 'Administration' upon logging in. If you're a standard admin user, you can access the Sys Admin screens by modifying the URL:

1. Login as an admin, select 'Administration', click 'User Admin'
2. The URL in the address bar will have this at the end:
http://your.lamserver.com/lams/admin/admin.do?method=getAdmin
3. edit it to look like this, and press enter:
http://your.lamserver.com/lams/sysadmin/admin.do?method=getAdmin
4. You will be in the 'Sys Admin' screens then, and can modify permissions to a finer level of detail.
