About role permission settings
In Learnster Studio you can adjust the permissions for Content Designers, Direct Managers, Instructors and Team Managers to tailor which functions/parts of Learnster they have access to. The role settings are located under >Settings >Role Permissions.
ℹ️ Permissions for Learners, Admins and Super Admins are not adjustable. See User Roles to learn more about the different roles.
Content Designers
Manage course content – permissions for Content designers to view or manage course content. In view-only mode, Content designers will be able to view, but not manage, course content from the course outline tab. In edit mode, Content designers will have full permissions to create, edit and manage course content from under the course outline tab.
Manage Learners – access for Content designers to view or edit learners. In view-only mode, permissions are restricted to view only. Enable edit mode to allow Content designers to add or remove learners, and to manage course progress or set learners as passed or failed.
Manage course settings – permissions to view or manage course settings. In view-only mode, Content designers will be able to see, but not manage course settings. In edit mode, Content designers will have full access to all course settings.
Access library content – permissions to access and manage library content. In view-only mode, Content designers will be able to access and use existing library content. View-only mode does however not give access to create new or edit existing library content. Edit mode gives full access to library content including the ability to edit or delete all items in the library.
ℹ️ Please note! It is not recommended enabling library edit mode for Content designers. This would allow them to change or delete library content that was created by other Content designers or administrators, and which might be used in courses not controlled by the Content designer.
