You can delegate some course administration responsibilities by assigning users a system role of Course Administrator. This role grants privileges to manage courses and enrollments but no other administrative access.

You can also assign users a course role of Course Builder. This role grants access to most areas of the course Control Panel for a particular course.

About course IDs

The course ID is a unique identifier for a course. After a course is created, the course ID can't be changed, although you can change the course name, description, and other properties.

Course IDs can contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). All other characters, including spaces, are prohibited.

Blackboard recommends that you develop and enforce a naming convention for course IDs. The database does not assign course IDs automatically. Users create course IDs when they create courses. Blackboard Learn does not validate course IDs against the naming convention.
