[LON-CAPA-users] User '-------' at domain 'uiuc' not in this course

[Mills, Douglas G]

Thank you Stuart. I had wondered about that, but I didn't have to give
student roles to the dummy accounts in my demo course for that to work.
However, it MAY be that those accounts have student roles somewhere else
in the system -- would that make a difference? Anyway, this works. Thank
you,

Doug
