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.
