About Session Security

Different sessions belonging to the same learning module can be managed by different LMS administrators, who may be responsible for different geographic regions, for example. You can, therefore, configure permissions for individual sessions in addition to the access permissions for the learning module.

There are three levels of access to LMS objects that apply to both modules and sessions:

• Unrestricted
• Read only
• No access

It is important to remember that access to sessions depends on the level of access provided to their corresponding learning module. If a less restrictive level of access is provided to the learning module, it takes precedence over a more restrictive access permission specified for the session. This is illustrated in the table below.

Table: Resulting session permissions

	Module Permissions
Session Permissions	Unrestricted Read-only No Access Unrestricted Unrestricted Unrestricted Unrestricted Read-only Unrestricted Read-only Read-only No Access Unrestricted Read-only No Access

Session permissions are applied to the following areas of the LMS:

Catalog Editor Data Loaders APIs Module and Session Selectors Reports and the Report Wizard

Group Enroll Teach Review Checklist Item Management Auto Exception Management Question Pool Editor

Administrators with no access to an active session can access its properties from the Active Courses tab on the Teach page.
