Roles and permissions

Every member of your platform has a role. The role determines which menus they see and what they can do. The Administrator assigns teaching team roles from Admin. Learners have a separate role.

The roles at a glance#

The descriptions below are the ones the app shows when you choose a Role for a member.

What the Trainer and the Guest see#

In Trainings, the Trainer and the Guest only see the courses they author or on which they have read or edit rights. A Trainer who creates a course automatically gets the right to edit it. The Administrator and the Content manager see all the courses on the platform.

To grant or remove rights course by course, see Trainer rights.

The creator seat#

A creator seat is the licence of a member of the teaching team:

• the Administrator, the Content manager and the Trainer each use a creator seat;
• the Guest does not use one: "Does not consume a creator licence.";
• learners are counted separately.

With the Learner seats plan, Admin shows the number of Conceptor seats used and available, and an icon marks each member who uses one. If all seats are in use, adding a member or switching to a role that uses a seat is refused. To add seats, see Manage your subscription.

During the free trial, the platform has a single creator seat, taken by the Administrator who created it.

Financial actions#

Only the Administrator can access Usage and Plan & Billing. Only the Administrator can activate the platform, manage the subscription, add seats or credit and view payments.

When the platform becomes read-only, the other members see the message "The platform is read only. Contact the account owner." They need to contact the Administrator.

Change a member's role#

The Administrator adds members of the teaching team and changes their role in Admin. See Manage the teaching team.
