Then, select the role you would like them to have. You will probably want to enroll users in one of three main roles:

Student – If you want the user to be able to see content and complete any learning activities, choose this role.
Instructor – If you want the user to be able to add, edit, or delete content from the course shell, choose this role.
Instructor with Enroll (NC) – If you want the user to have all the permissions of an instructor plus the ability to enroll other users, choose this role.
