Administrative Access

Administrative scope refers to the departments and facilities an Administrator has access to. Within this scope each Administrator will have specific administrative rights (e.g., may add annotations to content). The LMS allows each organization to create multiple Administrators with a wide variety of rights and scope to meet the unique needs of the organization.

Depending on the level of access, Administrators may add Learners, inactivate Learners, create modules, assign lessons, create events, run reports, create other Administrators and generally manage the Learners to which they have access.

There can be one Administrator or multiple Administrators depending on the size of the facility and the goals of the organization.

System Administrator – access to all LMS functionality and sets the default options for the organization.

Facility Administrator – access to a facility, privileges may vary.

Department Administrator – access to one or more departments, privileges may vary.

Reports Administrator – privilege to reporting functionality, access varies based on Administrative level and scope.

See at the end of this document ‘Learner Options’: Preceptors and Discussion Participants.
