Courses

Courses hold the graphs, links and super users for a single subject. This page covers what course staff (course admins and editors) can do. Programme-level management is covered on the Programmes page.

Viewing a course

All courses you have access to are listed on the

Courses page, grouped into “My Pinned Courses”, “All Courses” and “Archived Courses”. Use the search bar to find a course by code or name. Click the pin icon on a course to add or remove it from your pinned list.

Click “View” (or “View/Edit” if you have edit permissions) on a course card to open its overview page, which lists the course’s graphs.

Note

If you don’t have access to a course, the overview page shows its admins and editors instead of its graphs, with a button to email them and request access.

Course settings

Caution

Only course admins, course editors, and programme admins/editors can open the course settings page.

Click “Settings” on a course card, or “Settings →” on the course overview page, to open course settings.

Figure 2: Course settings

From here you can rename the course, manage super users, see the course’s graphs, and (if the course is archived) delete it.

Course roles

• Course Admins can manage course settings, permanently delete graphs and links, and archive the course.
• Course Editors can create and edit graphs and links, but not delete them.
• Programme Admins & Editors implicitly have admin permissions for every course in their programme.

See the Roles page for the full permission hierarchy and what each role can do.

Add or change super users

Only course admins and programme admins/editors can add super users or change roles. Course editors cannot.

1. Click “Add Super Users”
2. Search for a user by name.
3. Check “User is allowed admin permissions” to add them as an admin, or leave it unchecked to add them as an editor.
4. Click “Add super user” to add the user.

To change an existing super user’s role, click their “Admin” or “Editor” badge in the table and choose a new role from the menu. The same menu lets you remove their access entirely (requires a confirmation click).

Archiving and deleting a course

Caution

Deleting a course requires programme admin/editor permissions on one of its programmes, and the course must already be archived. This is a step above what course admins alone can do.

Course admins can archive or restore a course from the settings page’s danger zone. This hides it from the default course list without deleting anything.

Deleting a course

Once a course is archived, a “Delete Course” option appears for users with programme admin/editor permissions. Deleting a course is permanent: it removes the course, its graphs and its links, and breaks any embeds for that course.

Danger

Deleting a course is irreversible! If you are unsure, archive the course instead.

0. Archive the course first.
1. Click “Delete Course” in the danger zone.
2. Type the course name to confirm.
