Excerpt
Within Myplace there are a number of formal and informal roles that can be assigned.

Formal Roles

Formal roles are defined in PEGASUS and can only be updated via the PEGASUS Roles and Responsibilities application.

All of the formal roles are constrained by Student Business / HR rules, and may not be assignable if a particular user doesn't satisfy those rules.

Title	Description
Class Organiser	This is the member of staff with overall responsibility. Typically this will be the member of staff who gained approval for the module.
Class Contact	This is the member(s) of staff who may be contacted with regard to any enquiries about the module. They may be academic or administrative staff.
Lecturer	Typically these members of staff are responsible for the content and / or delivery of the course itself.
Class Administrator	This is the member(s) of staff who have administrative responsibility for the class.
(PEGASUS) Tutor	This role allows the assignment of University staff who do not fall into any of the preceding roles, for example teaching assistants.
Electronic Marks Returner	This role is allocated to members of staff who are responsible for the return of student marks to Student Business. This role must be held in conjunction with another role.

Warning
Users are able to maintain their own roles and responsibilities. In addition administrative staff in departments typically have access to maintain other members of staff' roles

For issues with assigning staff via Roles & Responsibilities see Add Formal Staff Roles to a Class.

Informal Roles

Informal roles may be assigned directly within Myplace and represent users that have a less formal responsibility to the class.

Title	Description
Tutor	This is a "catch all" teaching role. It is frequently used with Limited Access accounts or for users that may only need to be a "member of staff" on the class for a short period of time.
Visitor	This is a limited access role that allows access to the materials in a class, but does not allow the user to do any of the activities.

Warning
All management of Informal Roles is the responsibility of the local, owning department to maintain. Myplace support will not assign or un-assign roles that can be locally managed.
