Set up a Classlist

Create a Classlist tab

The Classlist Tab Management area enables you to set up tabs for use in the Classlist tool. You can set up any number of tabs and define which roles you want to include in the tab. You can force all org units to use the tabs or give individual users permission to control which tabs to include in a particular org unit’s classlist. As well, users with the permission Manage Classlist tabs can create new tabs and assign roles to them.

On the My Home page, from the Admin Tools menu, click Classlist Tab Management.
Click New Tab.
Enter a tab title.
Select the check boxes beside the roles you want to include in the tab.
Click Save.

Auditors and Bulk Auditor Management

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.

Before you begin

Roles that manage users must have the following permission in order to manage auditor-user relationships:

Users Auditors > Manage Auditors

In addition, the following permissions are advised:

Users > See the User Management tool (for Administrators)
Classlist > Has Access to the Classlist and the appropriate Users > Search For {RoleName} permissions (for Instructors)

Enable auditors in your instance

Set the User Auditors > Audit Users permissions for the user auditor's role.
