Role: "Simple" user

[boente]

I have tried to create a ‘normal’ user role, i.e. a user who only has access to the frontend (=the courses). How would this be possible or could it be set in the current user administration? I have tried it once with the ‘View’ courses setting. But then, after login, the admin level is opened for the user and the message ‘forbidden’ appears when switching to the frontend level.

For basic users that only have access to view courses they should just have the "View Any" role:

"Any" in the frontend UI context is means only published courses.

Ah, sorry! I had forgotten something else. The problem is "still" that the user is also shown ‘Frontend’ and ‘Backend’ buttons. Would it perhaps be possible to have a specific user role where this button or this option is then completely hidden?
