NO Edit Teacher - No changes at all

I'm teaching with Moodle. I'm the website administrator. I want to give a school administrator the ability to see the website, but not edit anything. The "non-editing teacher" still would allow the administrator some abilities I don't want her to have. I could make her a student, but that may have some drawbacks - such as her receiving email notices whenever I post to the News Forum. I see that I can change the permissions that a "non-editing teacher" has. I'm hesitant to start changing the permissions, but that may be the best option. Can I create a new role, such as Admin Who Can Only Look?

What do you recommend?

I still think there should be a "subscribe to this thread" option in the Moodle forums. I want to know when a particular thread has new content, but I don't always want to receive notifications about EVERY thread in a forum.

Would 'Guest access" be sufficient? 

I just wanted to say that I agree with you about the 'subscribe to a thread' option. I am sometimes inundated with email from the forum on threads I would prefer not to follow but there is always wheat among the chaff so i am reluctant to unsubscribe from the entire forum.

Hi,

guest access would work if protected with a strong password, but you would have go every course to set up guest access.

You can duplicate the role and then take away all rights this special admin shouldn't have...

Best,

Stephan

How about creating a new role, assigning to the system context (see Creating custom roles ) and just allowing them the capability http://docs.moodle.org/en/Capabilities/moodle/course:view  ?

In the permissions to grant I don't see "Course: View" 

I would like to grant that permission and deny all others.

But I go to site administration / users / permissions / define roles

http://www.mysite.com/moodle/admin/roles/define.php?action=edit&roleid=9

to edit 'School Administrator | Can View Only'

and there are dozens of permissions to grant or deny.

Hi,

nope, there appears to be no custom role available for 'course view only'.  (Early morn here-could be wrong of course ;).

Thank you Mary. That seems to give me what I want. 

I filtered on "moode/course:view" (note the colon) and set "View Courses Without Participation". 

Follow up question: this denies access to the news forum. Is there a way that I can allow that? I guess I mean "only add that permission". When I filtered on "news" I only see permissions related to "add news" and "reply to news".
