Description

I set up this Course site for a professor, and then she signed up for the Commons and I made her the second admin account on it:

https://art1010simon.commons.gc.cuny.edu

I'm listed as the Instructor in course results though, I guess because I created the site initially? How do I transfer the Instructor title to the other admin, ideally while keeping my own admin rights?

  • Category name set to Courses
  • Status changed from New to Reporter Feedback
  • Target version set to Not tracked

The Course object that powers the item in the Courses directory is created at the time of site/group creation, using the "instructor" (ie administrator) data available at that time. Making a change to the site admin after this fact has no effect on the Courses directory. See https://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/11556#note-1.

I've made the change for you in this case. If there are other instances, please share the name of the course as it appears in the directory, and the username of the user(s) who should be listed instead of you as the Instructor.

Got it Boone, thanks. I'm gathering info for a few more courses that I need changed and will get back to you.

Hi Boone, here are the instances where I need my name changed from the instructor to another user. Here are the course site links, listing text, and the current user on the site who should become the instructor. Just let me know if you need anything else, and thanks.

Thanks, Colin. I've made these changes. Let me know if there are any more, and if not, go ahead and close out the ticket.

Hello Boone, reopening this for another Instructor update if possible on this site: https://anth1105miller.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

I'm listed as the Instructor presently, but I'd like it to be the user "tommiller" who is also an admin of the site now. Thanks!
