How do I remove a member accidentally added to a course? And related, how do I remove myself from a course I am no longer in?

How do I remove a member accidentally added to a course?
Under participants, the text says you can add or remove participants. But there is only an add button and clicking on participant in the list takes to their profile and I didn't see how to remove them.

And related, how do I remove myself from a course I am no longer in?
Similar -- could not find a way to get out of a course.

    Hi Kathi

    That depends on whether it's a normal course or a challenge. Removing a participant from a challenge isn't allowed at the moment. I'm not sure if it is that way by design, but the code specifically stops that from happening. For a course there should be a remove button next to the participants name if you edit the participants.

    To remove yourself from a challenge, there is a "Leave Challenge" link below the "Discuss Challenge" button. Currently it does not seem like you can leave a course. Again I don't know if this is by design?

    Guess the summary is that for a challenge users get to remove themselves and for a course organizers get to remove users.

    In challenges only participants can remove themselves. In courses in study groups they can only be removed by organizers.

    Perhaps we should revisit this and give organizers more permissions.

    I think any participant should always be able to remove themselves.

    Agreed. Definitely. And probably it is a good idea for organizers to be
    able to remove people from either thing also. Especially if the person was
    added by the organizer in the first place.

    Cheers,
