Thanks for the update.

I've only been using the authoring tool since the start of the year and have been anticipating user management to let others in the team demo the system, without them altering my courses.

One question, if a user is permanently remove from the system, do their courses become orphaned? As a result of this, would it be possible in a future release to add another menu item under 'Shared coursed' called 'All courses', so even if a course isn't shared a user with enough permissions is able to access the course and maybe reassign it to someone else.

We would like a feature like this too.

Yesterday we ran into this exact issue. We created a course with a user, shared it and then deleted the user again.

This resulted in the now orphaned course was visible for the other users, but they didn't have permissions to delete the course again. Thus, when other users clicked the "Shared Courses" button, they saw a no-man's-course, which should just be deleted, but couldn't. Not even the Admin user could delete it.

We ended up going into the settings of the orphaned course and set it to NOT shared, which removed it from the shared courses-list, even though the course technically hasn't been deleted.

If there is a better way to get rid of orphaned courses, we are all ears :)
