[LON-CAPA-admin] How to delete a class?

[Lucas, Mark]

Nathan,

I don’t know if anyone else has replied.

There are two options:

(1) As you stated, the Hot List will allow you to have the most recent courses at the top.
     You can make certain roles “sticky” (I do this for the current semester courses).
     You can also adjust the number of roles (up to 9). Decreasing will get rid of courses
      for which you haven’t “checked the box” to keep them in your Hot List.

(2) The domain coordinator can easily add or subtract roles to any user. (The exception is
      co-author roles to existing authoring spaces. This takes a little more work.)
      Officially the options are “Revoke”, “Reenable”, and “Delete” for each role (“Reenable” only
      shows if the role has been “Revoked”.

Let me know if this makes sense.

Later,
Mark
