1.1 ! bowersj2 1: \label{Course_Deleting}
! 2: A course can not be ``deleted'' from a LON-CAPA server. Courses occupy
! 3: very little storage space, and an inactive course is not a burden on
! 4: the system. On the other hand, allowing data to be permanently deleted
! 5: could lead to serious accidental data loss.
! 6:
! 7: You \emph{can} expire the roles\index{roles, expiring}for all users in
! 8: the course. For example, when you use \textbf{ENRL} or \textbf{CUSR}
! 9: to put students, instructors, or course coordinators into a course,
! 10: you can set an ending date for those roles. When the ending
! 11: date\index{roles, end date} is reached, the role associated with the
! 12: course will not be accessible to the user any more.
! 13:
! 14: If you view the \textbf{ROLES} screen, you will see a checkbox at the
! 15: top that allows you to display all roles. If you check that box and
! 16: click the display button, you can see your current and expired roles,
! 17: if any.
! 18:
! 19: It is a good idea to get into the habit of setting end dates for all
! 20: courses.
