How do I remove an individual's access to a Blackboard site?
When you remove the individual's user record from the course, you also delete any grades, assessment information, uploaded files, or discussion forum entries associated with him or her. Once deleted, this information is not able to be recovered. Another complicating factor is the automated data update process. If a student plans to drop a course, but hasn't officially done so, and you remove the student from the course, the next automated data update will readd him or her.
In most cases, the easiest way to remove an individual user's course access is to modify their User Properties to make him or her unavailable in the course. Doing so will remove the individual's access to the site, including the course's link from the his or her My Courses list, and will prevent him or her from receiving any e-mail messages sent via Blackboard.
1. In the Control Panel, under User Management, click List/Modify Users. You will see a Search box.
2. Enter either the person's last name or Onyen. If you enter the person's Onyen, be sure to click the radio button next to User Name. Click the Search button. A list of one or more users will appear. Find the user you wish to modify, and click the Properties button to the right of his or her information.
3. Scroll down to section 4, Role and Availability. Under Available (this course only), select No from the drop-down box.
4. Click Submit. A confirmation message will appear, and the user's access to the course is now blocked.
5. Click OK to return to the List/Modify Users search page.
