User control types

• By default, both students and teachers can unenrol a student from a class.
• Admins can update the settings so only teachers can unenrol students.

How unenrolment controls work

Admins can assign the unenrolment settings at the organisation level, so schools can control the portions of the domain they need. 

If a SIS integrator such as Clever has been provisioned, teachers get a warning when they edit the class roster.
