Why Assigning Roles is Important

1. Efficient Distribution of Workload: By designating different roles to different users, admins can spread and balance the admin workload among managers, content creators, and instructors. This ensures that tasks and responsibilities are shared.

2. Tailored Access: Different roles provide varying levels of access, ensuring that users can only make changes appropriate to their role, which maintains the integrity and security of the content.

3. Flexibility & Autonomy: Assigning roles empowers individuals within their specified limits, giving them the flexibility and autonomy to efficiently fulfill their duties without constantly seeking permissions.

How to Assign User Roles

To access the Assign User Roles page:

1. Click on your Admin tab.

2. Click on the User Management drop down.

3. Select Assign Roles.

The assign roles page will display all of the roles you can assign (i.e. the roles with the same permission level as your own and lower). 

4. To assign a role to a user(s), select the Plus icon (or to un-assign a role to a user(s), select the Minus icon).

5. Select the user(s) you are (un)assigning by ticking the boxes adjacent to the user(s).

6. Once the user(s) are selected, click confirm at the bottom righthand corner of the page.

You have now assigned or unassigned a role to a user(s)!
