There are two main roles that a user can be assigned to for Assessment Projects: Administrator or Faculty. This article briefly explains each role, the permissions to features, and their workflows.
System Roles
Admin Role:
Users can be imported into System Administration with the “Admin” role.
- Users with the Admin role can be aligned to the top of the organization hierarchy. These users are sometimes referred to as a “Root Admin.” Root Admins have access to the entire organization hierarchy and all system features and settings
- Users with the Admin role can also be aligned to a specific organization within the hierarchy. These users are sometimes referred to as a “Node Admin” or “Lead” to indicate their system permissions
Faculty Role:
Users can be imported into System Administration with the “Faculty” role.
- Users with the Faculty Role can be provisioned with Lead permissions by aligning them to a specific organization within the hierarchy
Assessment Project Permissions
Here is a brief overview of the features available to each user depending on their permissions.
To add a user as a Lead (Node Admin), select the organization node for which you’d like to grant them permissions. To adjust or edit Leads for an organization node, select the name of any of the existing Leads. Leads only have create, edit, and delete (manage) permissions on their assigned node(s). Leads (Node Admins) do have access to view Rubrics and Outcomes created in their directly preceding organization (parent node).
Evaluator permissions are granted by adding a Faculty or Admin user as an Evaluator within an Assessment Project.
