We have a course that has a few people that need admin and student roles.  For example if they are set up as an admin they can not sign up for a meeting slot with the main teacher when created in the calendar, only those with student roles can do this.  I am wondering if there is a way to make it so they have two roles?  Would it be possible to keep them as the student role in the main course and then create sub accounts where they have an admin role?  Giving them different permissions in different accounts?  I would love any advice or insights into this, if it is even a possibility.  Thanks!

Hi Mindi, yes you can have multiple roles. Just add the person to the course again with the new role, they will then have permissions for both roles.  This may be dependent on your institution's permissions but has worked for me.
