Depends on how do you want o implement posting of courses. Do you want educators to post their courses via Umbraco backend? Then use Umbraco users, create a custom User group and add needed rights to that group.
I'd go the other way, and create educators as members (of a particular member type), and let them manage content from the front-end. You could use Umbraco Forms to create content from form submissions, with a custom workflow to set permissions etc - when the content item is created, you could store the node id as a property on the member profile and use that to control access/permissions.
Lots of options, but if it's a public site where any educators can register and add content, I'd avoid having them in the backoffice as users.
Thanks Nathan for the recommendation to use members with Umbraco Forms, I just wanted to add that I didn't recommend to use backend users for it, the main question is to Mirhat, how do you want educators to add courses?
Is it more like via backend or absolutely custom solution? Do you have a time for creating functionality described by Nathan?
How to create directory listing site
I would like to create site where educators could post their courses.
I have few questions: 1. How to represent educators on umbraco site as members or as users 2. How to give them right to access only their courses

Thank you.
I will try both ways and see what is best.
