With roles and rights, you determine what your administrators are allowed to do and see within the online academy. For example, you may want to grant some administrators access only to create new learning activities, while others are only allowed to add new users. By assigning them specific roles and rights, they gain access to the appropriate features within your online academy.

How to create roles?

In the online academy, you can easily add various roles yourself, which you can then assign to your administrators. For each role, you can specify which rights are associated with it. Examples of rights include adding and removing users, creating content, and managing the settings of the online academy. Here, we will explain step by step how to create a new role.

  • Go to "Administrators" via the menu on the left.

  • Click the "Roles" tab.

  • Click the plus icon in the top right corner to create a new role.

  • Give the role a name.

  • Select the group to which you want to add the role (this is likely the name of your organisation).

  • On the right, specify which rights are assigned to this role. Read more about assigning rights below.

  • Click "Save changes".

    You can now assign the created role when adding a new administrator.
