The Instructor with User Management role in Blackboard is a custom course role only used in Non-Credit Courses. This role is similar to the Instructor role, but the user has the ability to add and remove users from the course and change user roles. This role is often granted to those who offer internal training courses, manage community courses, or manage a course for an organization.

Adding Participants to a Course

Once a user is added to the course as an Instructor with User Management, they can start adding participants to the course.

  1. Navigate to your Blackboard Ultra Course.
  2. Click Roster in the side menu.
  3. Click the Enroll People button that looks like a plus sign(+) in the upper-right corner.
  4. Type the name of the user in the search field, and then click the plus sign (+) next to the user’s name.
  5. Choose the user’s role.
  6. Click Save.

Removing Participants from a Course

If users no longer need to be enrolled, the user in this role can remove them from the course. Please note that removing a user from a course deletes all of their work and grades and data and it cannot be recovered.

  1. Navigate to your Blackboard Ultra Course.
  2. Click Roster in the side menu.
  3. Click the three dots (…) next to the name of the user you want to remove.
  4. Click Edit member information.
  5. Click the Remove member button that is shaped like a trash can.
  6. Click Remove member.
