User roles in Blackboard at UA

Each user can have only one role per course. These roles are course-specific, so a single user could be assigned the Instructor role in one course, but be assigned the Student role in another course.

CCS SW Clinical & ODS Support are for administrator use only. If the role is not listed on this page, it has no permissions in our Blackboard environment.
