Participating in Messaging
In order for students to be found by other students in the messaging search, you must allow this in your profile via opt-in. By default, you can only be found by privileged persons. This means people who share a course room with the students and have the roles of manager or tutor in it.
Conversely, persons with the role of manager or tutor cannot be found by students in their course rooms in the messages by default. If they are to be contacted via the messages, they must also allow this via opt-in.
If group messages are activated for a group, the names of the group members are also displayed here without the opt-in. Writing messages also works here without further consent.
Giving consent to display your own name in search queries
By default, only so-called "privileged persons", i.e. persons with the role of manager or tutor, can search for the names of users of their own course rooms in the messaging system. In order for students to be able to display the names of other users of their course rooms via a search query in the messaging, regardless of their role, the persons concerned must agree to this via opt-in in their user profile. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Open your personal user profile by clicking on your name on the upper right side of the course room and then on "Profile".
- Click on "Edit profile".
- In the Messaging section, open the drop-down list and select the option "Findable by privileged persons and other participants".
- Click on "Update profile".
