Suggestion: User images based on access level

Suggestion: User images based on access level

Don't know if this is possible with the current design of Moodle, but my idea is to implement default user images based on user level to assist users in distinguishing admins, teachers and students.

On our website we are currently doing this manually with the following images. Student being on the left, then teacher and admin.

Authentication Images

Anyone else think htis is a good idea? More importantly if so, does anyone have the skills to take this onboard?

I like the visual language. These fit with the roles.
These are iconic and would work even at a very
small size. I am very supportive of this approach.

One suggestion would be to make the
admin "base" be at the same line as the other 2. All should
fit into the same space.

In terms putting this into Moodle long term, my thought is to add
a config setting. Extend what is done for the terms used
for "Teacher/Teachers" and "Student/Students",
adding in a place for this icon. Same config style used at
the top level for "Admin/Admins".

In terms of some immediate way to get this in, I'll let
others take that one wink
