As an Administrator you are able to change Users’ System Roles, such as upgrading them to be a Line Manager or Administrator, or alternatively, downgrade one of those Users to a Standard User, if required.
There are five levels of System Roles that could be available* (a Standard User is a default role and all other roles need to be allocated):
Standard user |
This is the default setting for Users registered onto Unicorn LMS. Standard 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 the Find Learning Catalogue and also run Reports on their activity on the site in the Reports area. |
Line Manager |
Line Managers are given an overview of their staff’s activity on the site via the My Team Activity page. Line Managers are also able to report on the Users that are assigned to them. This role is automatically assigned by the LMS if a user is set as a line manager. |
Reporting administrator |
Reporting administrators are given access to the full reporting capability on 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, Assessments* and other learning Activities. Administrators are also able to carry out administrative tasks, such as making changes to Users’ accounts (email address, username, changing passwords, unlocking accounts etc.), have full access to the reporting capability of Unicorn LMS, and much more. |
Content Creator |
A Content Creator will be able to create and manage content within the LMS which means that they will gain access to Content Manager. They are also able to publish content to Find Learning*. |
