Hi,

As a course admin when I assign student to course shows the error message “Can not assign this role to user <student name> because Manage metacourse capability is needed.” . This student is available in potential users. Anybody can help me to solve this problem.

Don't assign roles in a metacourse. Assign them in the child course(s). They will automatically have the same roles in the metacourse (metacourse roles are automatically synchronized with child course roles). If this doesn't help, please reply with more information about how your courses are set up and what you are trying to do.

Along the same lines..... What if I want the students to carry over from course to metacourse but do NOT want instructors to carry over. Is there a way for metacourses to not auto carry over instructors?

By default all enrolments from child courses are synchronised to metacourses. Roles that are selected from the menu below will not be synchronized.

Site administration -> Users -> Permissions -> User policies -> "Roles that are not synchronized to metacourses"

How about for part time students who cant keep up their studies with other full time students?

Metacourse auto assign students to its child course, but how can I choose a certain students(repeat/part time students) to enroll only for certain course and not to enroll to all child course automatically in meta programme?

Normal students enroll to meta course will get added to its child courses as well.

Part time students only need few subjects out of metacourse.

anyone knows how?

The auto-enrollment process actually works the opposite way : a metacourse gets its enrollments automatically from its children courses. It means you should be able to manage your part time students the way you need to by only adding them to the appropriate children courses. They will then be enrolled to the "diploma" metacourse.

See this other thread for interesting explanations and analogies.
