Blocking students from seeing the course participant list
Last modified on 18 August 2025 03:16 PM
NOTICE: Please be advised that the content of this article may only be relevant for users concluding the final stages of course work on eClass or for users on the eClass External system. The eClass Learning Management System is currently in a read-only state that prohibits new courses, enrollments, and users from being added to the site. Credit courses and co-curricular courses at the UofA are now being delivered on Canvas, and full articles on how to use Canvas can be found here.

This article will explain how to block students from viewing the participant list in your course. This list is normally available to all students by default in every eClass course. The same general instructions can be used to customize a range of permissions for different activities in courses.

  1. From the top menu bar select Participants and then from the drop down menu select Permissions.




  2. On the top of the new page, you will see "Advanced role override". Click on the drop down menu and select Student.



  3. Scroll down until you find "View participants" or type “View participants” in the filter box.  On the same row, select Prohibit. Click on Save changes when you are done.



  4. Now, when students try clicking on the Participants list, they will not be redirected to the Participants page.
