An auditor in Brightspace is a user with permission to see (audit) another user's information. This feature is useful if you want to grant access to someone who can view and monitor the learner in a specific course offering; for example, parents of learners or instructor assistants.
User auditors don't have to have their own role in the organization. You must decide how much visibility you want auditors to have in the classlist, or what tools you want them to have access to. Their access can also depend on the relationship of the auditors to the users they audit.
