Our Knowledge Base Center articles are being updated for our new platform design. Need assistance? Reach out to support@learnworlds.comIf you partner with a team of people (agencies, freelancers, instructors, developers, designers, marketers, etc.) who will help you build or manage your LearnWorlds school, we ensure that you have full control over their access to your school.
You can manage the users' hierarchy in order to set up your team's administrative and resource access to your school:
- By assigning Predefined roles .
- Creating Custom User Roles.
Role Levels
We offer various access levels to help you better organize and categorize the user's accessibility to your school. There are 4 main user Level Roles that segment your users in a more organized way:
1. Administrative roles: The administrative level roles grant full access to all or some areas of the platform.
2. Instructional roles: The instructional level roles grant access to specific areas of the platform but limit the displayed data only to those related to the selected courses.
3. Reporting roles: The reporting level roles grant access to specific areas of the platform but limit the displayed data only to those related to the selected segments and courses.
4. User Group & Seat management roles: The seat management level roles grant access to specific areas of the platform but limit the displayed data only to those related to the Seat Offering or User Groups.
You can find more information on managing the User Roles and Permissions in this article.
Each access level (Administrative, Instructional, Reporting, User Group & Seat management) grants access to different permissions and data. So each role has different permissions and will have access to different parts and data of the platform.
Predefined Roles
For your convenience, we have created Predefined roles based on the most common needs of school creators for each user level. To find the Pre-defined Roles go to Users → All Users → User Roles.
Predefined Roles cannot be deleted, and their role level cannot change, but you can edit them and modify (add/ remove) the pre-selected permissions and reset them to the original permissions.
Hover over each predefined role to Edit, Create a new role based on the predefined one, Compare roles, Simulate the role access, to Reset to the original predefined roles.
The Admin role is a system role hence cannot be deleted or edited. It has, by default, all the permissions of the system and access to all data, so you can only create a new one based on this, Compare and Simulate.You can check all the Predefined User Roles per level:
