Admin Panel — User roles

User roles define what staff can do in the admin panel (e.g. view courses, approve access requests, manage students).

Viewing roles

1. Click User Roles in the sidebar.
2. You see a list of roles (e.g. Admin, Employee, Moderator) with name and description.

Creating or editing a role

1. Click Create to add a new role, or Edit on an existing role.
2. Enter or change the name and description of the role.
3. Select permissions — Check the boxes for what this role is allowed to do (e.g. view courses, approve course access requests, manage students, manage exams). Permissions are often grouped by area (Courses, Students, Exams, etc.).
4. Save. Users assigned this role will have access only to the sections and actions you allowed.

If you don’t see User Roles or the Edit option, your account may not have permission to manage roles.
