Through ORCA, you can manage a user’s enrollments by changing their existing role, adding them to additional sections or removing them from a section.
Users can only be assigned ONE role per course (for the exception of Grade Submitter). Issues accessing content might occur if multiple roles assigned to a user in a course.
