Why are tabs important in the Classlist tool?

Classlist tabs generally correspond to specific roles. A tab can show all roles, one role, or a combination of roles. Your administrator may have given you permission to control which tabs to display in your classlist.

The tabs you choose to display will be visible to students when they view your classlist. Therefore, if there is a particular role that you do not want students to see in the classlist, you can choose to not have it appear there.
