Role assignments

This data source provides a structured and flexible way to display role-related information within a Dash block. It allows for easy filtering and customization, making it an essential tool for organizing and presenting user roles across different contexts.

With this feature, you can display specific roles assigned to a course, category, or user in a visually clear format, such as tables or grids. For example, you can list:

Teachers of the current course or specific courses
Guests and non-editing teachers in the current course
Course creators across the platform
Managers of a course category
Parents of users
Students enrolled in a course

The data source supports refined filtering options, allowing you to display information based on role type, course, category, or even specific user groups. This ensures that the displayed data remains relevant and tailored to the needs of your users.

Additionally, dynamic filtering and conditions make it possible to combine different criteria, such as showing both guests and non-editing teachers within a course. The data can also be linked to specific course contexts, making it easy to navigate and manage role-based information efficiently.
