Privilege categories

Privileges fall into three main categories:

  • Faculty
  • SP 
  • Learner

Learner and SP privileges belong in the learner and SP categories, respectively. All the other privileges which are neither learner nor SP are categorized as Faculty.

User groups are categorized as well, according to these three categories. 

The category of a user group is determined by the most common type of privilege in the group:

Faculty: most of the group members are users with faculty privileges.

SP: most of the group members are users with SP privilege.

Learner: most of the group members are users with Learner privilege.


Admin privileges

AdminAccess to every feature, without any restrictions.
(info) Only Admin (or Report reviewer (full control)) privilege users can add titles to recordings.
System ManagerAccess is limited to the System module, including all the tabs and settings.
Room ManagerAccess only to the Rooms tab of the System Management module through Classic view. A Room manager can add and delete rooms and existing stations, and add equipment (camera, simulator) to rooms.
