By default, Admins are the only users who can create and manage Learning Path modules for their system - unless an Admin grants a specific Role access to Learning Path authoring privileges. With this capability, the assigned users with that new Role can create and manage modules and courses for all users in the system.
In this article, we will cover how to create a new Coach role with Learning Path authoring enabled, but if you wish to allow other existing role types the same capability, feel free to follow the instructions below for that other role card.
In order to assign Learning Path module authoring privileges to specific Roles in your system, first go to your homepage and find the Management Panel on the left-hand side. Then click 'View.'
On the next page, look to the left-side panel and click on 'Roles & Permissions.'
You will then be brought to your Roles & Permissions Management page. From here, you can view and modify any of the existing Role types in your system. You can also clone and create new roles as needed!
If you wish to grant only specific Coach role users access to Learning Path authoring, find the existing 'Coach' role card and click on its '...' icon. In the dropdown list, click 'Clone & Modify Role.'
From there, you will be brought to the 'Edit Details' tab of the newly cloned coach role. Give the new coach role a new name to better differentiate it from the regular Coach role type.
Next, navigate to the 'Manage Permissions' tab. There, click on 'Learning Paths.' Under the Learning Paths section, scroll down and enable each toggle as needed to allow for full authoring access.
Once your changes have been made, click the 'Save Changes' button found in the bottom, right-hand corner of the Edit Details or Manage Permissions tab to finalize your settings.
Lastly, visit the 'Assign Users' tab of the cloned coach role. Here you can assign the new role to any existing users in your system. Click the 'Assign Users' button to the right, and a new pop-up will appear listing each user in the system.
To assign this role to each user, simply click on the '+' icon to the right-hand side of each listing. The role re-assignment will happen automatically.
