Assigning User Permissions to Administrators

User Permissions control an Admin's access to ControlPanel menus and certain fields and buttons on LearnCenter pages. When you grant a permission, you are giving an Admin access to the permission's associated functionality. When you deny permission, you are taking that access away. Co-Owners or senior level LearnCenter Administrators determine subordinate Admins' level of access to functionality in the LearnCenter by granting or denying the appropriate permissions.

You cannot edit your own User Permissions. Another Admin must do this for you.

There are two ways to grant or deny User Permissions:

• Map a Users to Roles - a role is a group of permissions you add specifically for certain positions within your organization. Admins can then be mapped to that role to access those permissions.
• Grant specific permissions on an individual basis. This topic describes this procedure.

On the ControlPanel:

1. Click  on the Users menu to expand it.
2. Click Users.
3. Use the Filters section to search for the Users (Admins) you want.
4. Scroll down if necessary to view the Users section.
5. Click next to a User to display the User Permissions window.

6. Click the check box next to each User Permission you want to grant. This grants all sub permissions within the main User Permission category.
   
   or
   
   Click next to the main User Permission to expand the list. Then click only the check boxes next to the sub permissions you want to grant.
   
   or
   
   Clear the check box next to the User Permission you want to deny. This denies access to all sub permissions within the main User Permission category.
   
   or
   
   Click next to the main User Permission to expand the list. Then clear only the check boxes next to the sub permissions you want to deny.

Clicking the Co-Owner check box grants the Admin rights to all User Permissions for this LearnCenter. Likewise, clearing the Co-Owner check box denies the Admin rights to all User Permissions.

7. Click Save.
   

The changes will take effect the next time the Admin logs in to LearnCenter. They do not affect access to Admins who are logged in when you make the User Permission changes.

If some but not all of the sub User Permissions are selected, the main User Permission category label changes to a lighter color.
