(Admin) Controlling Instructor Permissions

Instructor accounts have the option to limit the permissions of that role. This allows an admin to limit that instructor's abilities within that role. This can be done when the instructor role is created or by editing a user's role later. Instructors can also send requests to have their permissions adjusted.

A. Permissions

When limiting permissions, you can hover over the question mark ? to see a full explanation of what that permission does. Unchecking an area will remove that area's access entirely, or unchecking categories within that area will remove that small section of that area entirely. 


Areas of Access: 

  • Student
  • Preceptor 
  • Opportunity
  • Lab
  • Scenario
  • Report
  • Form
  • Clinical Site User

 

 

B.  Managing Instructor Permission Requests
