Roles

Roles and privileges

Roles are a set of privileges that give access to certain functionalities. Each role is linked to a domain (see section: Domains). The root domain has defined roles, which are then automatically inherited when each sub-domain is created.

A user can have one or more roles. If a user has more than one role for the same domain, the interface will display the privileges of all roles.

You can create your own roles and customize their privileges. However, the most common roles are:

• The learner can take e-learning, blended and video training courses, be assessed at the end of each course, make registration requests and access social learning.

• The Manager is responsible for a team of employees, and can monitor their progress on all the training courses they attend. They can also request registrations for their team.

• The tutor is scheduled for a training session and can follow the progress of the employees registered for it.

• The administrator has access to all platform administration parameters.
