Switch Roles

If you have more than one role, the top menu shows one role's links at a time, so you only see what you need for the job at hand. Switch roles whenever you need the other links.

You can switch if you have two or more of these roles:

  • Administrator — you manage your organization (organization administrator or author).
  • Group Admin — you manage one or more groups.
  • Learner — you take courses assigned to you.

With only one role, you don't see the switcher. The first time you see it, a New: switch roles popover points it out.

Switching your role​

  1. Click your avatar at the top right to open the menu.
  2. Under Role, click the role you want. The current role has a checkmark.

Home opens with that role's menus, and the badge under your email address shows your current role.

The app remembers your choice in this browser, so you're back in the same role the next time you sign in. On another browser or device, you start in your broadest role: Administrator if you have it, otherwise Group Admin.

What each role shows​

  • Administrator — Home (your organization's dashboard), Courses, Users, Packages, Groups, and My Courses.
  • Group Admin — Home (a dashboard for the groups you manage), Groups, Users, and My Courses.
  • Learner — Home (your learner dashboard) and My Courses. Search is hidden.

Groups and Users by role​

Groups and Users show different lists in each role:

  • Group Admin: only the groups you manage and their users.
  • Administrator: every group and user in your organization.

If you're both, switch roles to change which list you see.
