Currently, users with the course coordinator right must assign themselves the online and/or campus volunteer rights in order to access some of the features of the course page system (for example, signing up as campus volunteer for a course). This can be confusing and is not necessary. The course coordinator right should include all the rights for online and campus volunteers, so that assigning themselves those narrower rights is not necessary.
It might be the case that the "campus volunteer" privileges come with the "course coordinator" userright, but the "online volunteer" privileges do not. I say this based on observing a privilege for the former granted and a privilege for the latter not granted. All privileges of both of these ought to be granted to anyone with course coordinator userright. In the bigger picture - perhaps the "campus volunteer" and "online volunteer" userrights should be merged entirely. Sage has suggested this; I also would support this. I am not sure that there would be any opposition.
