In the Ultra course experience, the 'Allow access to course' button disappears after restricting the 'Course/Organization Control Panel (Users and Groups) > Users > Change User's Role in Course/Organization' privilege.

  2. Go to Admin panel > Course/Organization Roles > Instructor
  3. Restrict 'Course/Organization Control Panel (Users and Groups) > Users > Change User's Role in Course/Organization' privilege
  4. Create an Ultra Course
  5. Enroll one instructor and one student in the course
  6. Login as an instructor
  7. Try to change the availability of the student.
