Good morning,

I just found and issue which doens't make too much sense to me.

As an admin, I cannot manage a course if I am enrolled. The Course Manager options will completely disappear. I have to delete the admin's enrollment to edit the course. Why can't I edit the course lessons if I am the administrator? I don't understand.

Thanks

If you are manager of the item, then you can see everything in any case. Enrolling is intentionally showing you this as an enrolled student in that course. Indeed you could need not to be enrolled if you are managing it

Yes. But I am the admin. I created all the content and all the lessons.

Why then can't I edit the content if I am the admin of everything I've created if I enrolled to test how things work. It doesn't make too much since I'm the administrator and the one who created the course.

You can certainly add that as a feedback item, but the intention I believe is that you then see it as an enrolled user

I would suggest using a different browser and login as a normal user for the course instead of trying to mix end user/admin.

Thanks a lot. But my question is, why should I have two browsers, etc, if I am the admin? As an admin, I should be able to do EVERYTHING. That's the purpose of being an admin, to have control of everyting in the system. It doesn't make sense to do anytthing else. It doesn't follow any logic, sorry.

Because an admin is different than a user. If you don't like the behavior, feel free to make a suggestion that it be changed in the feedback forum. Given this it is working as intended currently, there is not much more that can be done.
