As of 2024, Peer Leader is the default role for any undergraduate who is serving in a course-support role such as SI Leaders and similar.
Peer Leader is a customized role based on the Observer base role. For observer-based roles, all view permissions (discussions, assignments, pages, modules, quizzes) are limited to what is published and unlocked. Observer-based roles cannot submit to assignments or attempt quizzes. This also includes the course as a whole (no access to unpublished course).
See Below for more details about the permissions of the Peer Leader Role:
