Roles define what specific users can see and do on our platform. Each role sets the level of access for a user, such as managing users, content, and organization settings. Depending on the role assigned, a user can create new learning content, view existing content, or manage access for content that has already been created. Each user can hold only one role within organization.
Supported roles
Member: Members can access learning materials, complete assignments, take quizzes and exams, rate their skills, and track their progress towards learning goals. Members have limited permissions and can only access the learning area. The role is therefore suitable for all regular learners and employees of an organization. Every other role on the platform also includes member permissions.
Author: Authors are responsible for creating learning content, such as learning paths, events, journeys, and managing the skill taxonomy and skill profiles. Their primary goal is to create engaging and effective learning experiences. They also check feedback to ensure the content remains relevant and of the highest quality.
Access Manager: Access managers ensure that learning content is accessible to all users or specific groups for which it was designed. They support authors by ensuring that the organization has all relevant content available.
Curation Admin: This role combines the responsibilities of both authors and access managers. It is well-suited for smaller organizations where one person manages all aspects of content creation and distribution.
Owner: Owners have overall control of the platform. They manage user accounts, content, configure organization settings, and monitor the effectiveness of learning programs by analyzing learning and skill insights. This is the only role that currently allows users to access users' personal and learning data, assign trainings, and manage participant lists for events and journeys.
