A System Role can be assigned to a User. A System Role determines what a User can see and do in the LMS, based on permissions.
There are five levels of default System Roles that could be available, depending on your LMS setup (a Standard User is the default role and all other roles need to be allocated):
|
User |
This is the default setting for Users registered onto the Unicorn LMS. Users are able to progress through learning, Assessments and other Activities that are assigned to them on their training plan. They are also able to register themselves for Activities (or express their wish to register, depending on the settings of the site) via Find Learning and also run Reports on their activity on the site. |
|
Line Manager |
Line Managers are given an overview of their staff’s activity on the site via the My Team page and My Team Activity dashboard. Line Managers are also able to report on the Users that are assigned to them. |
|
Reporting Administrator |
Reporting Administrators are given access to the full reporting capability on the Unicorn LMS allowing them to view more types of Reports, as well as create their own Reports. |
|
Administrator |
Administrators are the highest level of User and able to carry out a lot more tasks than all other Users, such as assigning learning to Users via Content Manager, as well as creating Pathways and other learning Activities. Administrators are also able to carry out administrative tasks in the Organisation and Users area, such as making changes to Users’ accounts (email address, username, changing passwords, unlocking accounts etc.), have full access to the reporting capability of the Unicorn LMS, and much more. |
|
Content Creator |
A Content Creator has access to Content Manager so that they are able to create and manage content within the LMS. |
As an Administrator, you are able to allocate these default System Roles in the System Roles tab in a User's profile.
A Super Administrator can create new System Roles in Site Settings. Take a look at our guide Create System Roles in Site Settings to find out how to do this.
