[LON-CAPA-users] {Disarmed} Re: users's role?

[Mills, Douglas G]

Thank you.  I had not tried request.role. I tried several other variations (user.role, user.course.role, environment.role) but not request. Yes, that works. Thank you!

Hi,

that I make use of all the time, but "role" is not there and I'm a bit surprised.  What I'd like to do is provide information to course coordinators that is not provided to students, so I figured a conditional block based on role would do that. Thanks as always for any help you can provide!
