Short answer

How can I manage Brightspace users and enrollments with AI?

You give your AI text commands to create accounts, update user details, or enroll students in specific courses. This moves the heavy lifting of roster management from the Brightspace UI into your chat interface.

Enrollment outcomes

What you get

The specific results of your commands.

USER SETUP

New account creation

The AI uses create_user to set up new profiles in Brightspace. You get a ready-to-use account without clicking through menus.

ACCESS CONTROL

Instant course enrollment

Assign users to specific courses immediately. The AI handles the link between the person and the content.

DATA UPDATES

Profile management

Keep user information current. You can change existing details to keep your roster accurate.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual oversight needed

You still decide who gets access. The AI performs the technical steps, but you maintain the authority over your student list.

The workflow

What your AI does when a request arrives.

The AI translates your natural language into direct Brightspace actions.

  1. Identify the user

    The AI looks up the specific person you want to manage to ensure the right account is targeted.

    list_users

  2. Provision the account

    If the person isn't in the system yet, the AI builds their profile from scratch.

    create_user

  3. Assign course access

    The AI links the user to their required learning materials.

    create_enrollment

  4. Clean up access

    When a course ends or a user leaves, the AI removes their enrollment or updates their profile.
