User roles in LearnWorlds help manage and organize access and permissions across your platform, enhancing security and efficiency. By assigning roles with specific permissions, such as administrators having full access, instructors managing course content, and students participating in courses, you ensure users have appropriate access levels based on their responsibilities.
Besides users, LearnWorlds provides different Role levels: Administrative, Instructional, Management, and Reporting, from which you can create various roles or use the predefined ones to assign to your users. Each role has different available permissions, so each role has access and can see different portions and data of the platform.
- Administrative role level: An admin in LearnWorlds is a user role with access to the admin dashboard that can manage the school, including creating courses, enrolling students, and configuring settings. Admins have elevated permissions compared to regular users, enabling them to oversee and maintain the platform's operations efficiently.
- Instructional role level: An instructor in LearnWorlds is a user role with permissions to create and manage courses. They can upload content, interact with students in their assigned courses, and utilize various tools for course creation and student engagement. They also have access to view and export user analytics, as well as manage scheduled reports.
- An instructor in LearnWorlds is a user role with permissions to create and manage courses, including uploading content and interacting with students in their assigned courses. They can be assigned by an admin and have access to various tools for course creation and student engagement. They can also view and export user analytics but also manage scheduled reports.
- Reporting role level: A reporter in LearnWorlds is a user role that allows access to reporting and analytics features, enabling them to view and generate detailed reports about course performance, user engagement, and other key metrics. This role does not grant any administrative or content creation permissions, focusing solely on data and performance insights.
- Management role level: A manager in the context of LearnWorlds is a role assigned to oversee and administer specific aspects of creating and managing user groups, seat allocation, or managing community, ensuring efficient operation and engagement.
This guide will outline all the available permissions for each role level and provide helpful tips for creating custom user roles tailored to your school's needs.
Permissions
The permissions allowed for each user role relate to different aspects of the platform such as courses, the website builder, user management, marketing, mobile app, reports and analytics, communication (community and emails), and school settings.
When assigning permissions to a role (while creating or updating user roles), you can choose to assign all the permissions at once by ticking the first checkbox (which will automatically tick all the available permissions under the specific permission category), or you can choose to assign individual permissions by ticking them one by one. Note that some permissions are dependent on other permissions to be enabled.
