When Admins view a user profile in the admin area, there is a panel on the Profile tab called Permissions. This panel manages each user's permissions within the platform. This panel can be edited by (certain access levels of) Admins as follows.

Admin and Admin Access

NOTE: Only Super Admins can edit the Admin and Admin Access rows. If you want to make someone an admin in your portal and you are not a Super Admin, please contact a Super Admin in your portal to request this.

NOTE: Tribal Habits Support cannot change the admin permissions of any user. If you request Support to change your admin permission or that of any other user, we will decline and request that you contact a Super Admin in your portal.

  • Admin: Yes or No. Yes means this person can have admin access BUT you also need to set their Admin Access row. Only Super Admins can change this permission.

  • Admin Access: None or a choice of one of the Admin Access levels. Only Super Admins can change this permission.

Creator

  • Creator: Yes or No. Selecting Yes allows this person to see the CREATE button on their learner dashboard and start to create training of their own. This setting does not automatically grant this person the ability to edit all training. Creators must still be assigned to each training module. This is purely about seeing the CREATE button on the learner dashboard.

  • Without admin access, users with this permission applied are unable to enrol learners into the training they create or make it available in catalogues for self-enrolment.

Team Leader (Why can't I edit the Team Leader field?)

  • Team Leader: Yes or No.

IMPORTANT: This row cannot be edited. The Team Leader permission is calculated by the platform and not editable by you. It will be YES if this user is the manager of another user in this platform. This is determine by the Manager 1-5 Email fields. Learn more here.
