How to Assign a Role

While roles are managed on the Roles tab, they can only be assigned to new users on the Groups & Users tab.

IMPORTANT: A user with User Manager privilege does NOT have access to roles including one or more of the following privileges: Admin, System Manager, Room Manager, Learner History/ SP Activity.

Assigning a predefined role:

  1. Create a new user on the Groups & Users tab or open the Edit User pop-up for a desired user.

  2. Select a predefined role from the Role drop-down menu.

  3. Click Save to save the changes.



Assigning a customized role:

  1. Create a new user on the Groups & Users tab or open the Edit User pop-up for a desired user.

  2. Select the Custom... option from the Role drop-down menu.



  3. The system will switch to the Privileges settings.

  4. Check the boxes of the privileges you wish to assign to the specific user.



4. After editing, the pop-up window can be closed, as any changes are saved automatically.

IMPORTANT: Personalized role(s) set up when creating or editing a user will not be saved as a customized role; this can only be done on the Roles tab.
