Guest, Auditor (Student) and Staff Auditor roles are designed to give limited, "read-only" access to courses.
Guest
This role gives non-UNSW users access to non-award Moodle courses. Guest access can be enabled in Moodle self-enrolment courses (with Head of Organisation permission). Users access content anonymously but can't participate in activities that require an identity within Moodle. e.g. Assignments.
Auditor (Student)
This role typically allows postgraduate students access to courses that they are not enrolled in but that contain information their supervisors consider vital to their studies.
An auditor has access to content and most tools in Moodle but only in a read-only mode. Auditors typically do not have access to plugin services like Turnitin.
Staff Auditor
A Staff Auditor has access to content and most tools in Moodle but only in a read-only mode. Staff Auditors typically do not have access to plugin services like Turnitin.
