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:
1.2 bowersj2 7: You \emph{can} expire the roles\index{roles, expiring} for all users in
1.4 ! riegler 8: the course. For example, when you use
! 9: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{list-add}
! 10: \textbf{Add/Modify a Student} or
! 11: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{edit-redo}
! 12: \textbf{Add/Modify a Course User}
1.3 vandui11 13: to put students or Course Coordinators into a course,
1.1 bowersj2 14: you can set an ending date for those roles. When the ending
15: date\index{roles, end date} is reached, the role associated with the
16: course will not be accessible to the user any more.
17:
1.4 ! riegler 18: If you view the \textbf{User Roles} screen, you will see a checkbox at the
1.1 bowersj2 19: top that allows you to display all roles. If you check that box and
1.4 ! riegler 20: click the \fbox{Update display} button, you can see your current and
! 21: expired roles, if any.
1.1 bowersj2 22:
23: It is a good idea to get into the habit of setting end dates for all
1.3 vandui11 24: courses.
