Users with the role of Guest have no access to the Course Management Panel. Typically, a Guest can view course materials but NOT tests, assessments and grades. A Guest cannot post to the discussion board. Visitors to the course should be given a Guest role when you want them to see the course materials in Content Areas and Course Announcements, but NOT interact with others in the course or to safe guard student privacy.
Please note:
Users with Guest roles do not have accounts in MacEwan's Blackboard and usually do not have MacEwan network accounts. For those reasons you must first request that a guest account be created for you here. Once the guest account is created, you can add that guest to your Blackboard course.
By default, Guest users are not allowed access to Blackboard courses. If you do want add a Guest to a course, you'll need to "turn on" Guest access in your course. Find Customization in the Course Management Panel, click Guest and Observer Access, click " Yes" beside Allow Guests and click Submit.
Once you do this, Guests will be able to access course Content Areas and Course Announcements.
