In Moodle, there are six default levels of access:
 * 1) The **Administrator**, who has access to all courses and determines the look of the entire site. The admin can also put messages of general interest on the Moodle login page. All Moodle users receive these messages in their email. The admin creates courses and user IDs.
 * 2) The **Course Creator** is a kind of super teacher who has the right to create courses.
 * 3) The **Teacher** has full control within his/her course(s) for course building, management and for teaching, but cannot create student IDs.
 * 4) The **Nonediting Teacher** has no editing rights. This means they can teach using the course and its tools, but they cannot change the tools or course materials.
 * 5) The **Students** can use Moodle for learning purposes only, most of the options open to teachers remain hidden to them.
 * 6) **Guest** access is limited to seeing, but not touching.

To elaborate, the Teacher’s access includes: Below are some icons that you will see in Moodle.
