Create a System Role

Administrators can create a new system role to provide users with access to a specific set of features and data according to your organization's requirements.

New roles start with very limited access to Review Features, Manage Features and Data Access Control permissions. It may save time to clone an existing system role and update the permissions as required.

A consistent naming convention for role codes and names can help you keep them organized. For example, if you want to create course administrator roles for different geographic regions, you could suffix the role code (CA) with the region code: CA-NORAM, CA-EMEA, CA-APAC.

To configure access and general permissions for system roles, your user role must have unrestricted access to the Role Permissions feature in System Roles (Manage Features > User Manager Features). 

To create a system role

  1. Go to Manage Center > Users > System Roles. The System Roles page opens.
  2. Click + Create System Role. The Create System Role dialog opens.
  3. Enter a unique code for the role.
  4. Enter a descriptive role name.
  5. Optionally, enter a brief description of the role. This appears only in the System Roles page.
  6. Click Save.
  7. To configure the new role's access permissions, click Go to Role Access Control. To return to the System Roles page, click Close.
