Academy - How to Manage User Roles

This article applies to:
PoliceOne Academy, FireRescue1 Academy, CorrectionsOne Academy, EMS1 Academy, LocalGovU, and white-label sites

We recently added Roles Manager to our Academy site, which allows you to manage advanced user roles capabilities. With the role manager, you can create new role, delete existing roles, and change default user role with easiness of a few mouse clicks. Why it could be necessary? Let’s suppose you wish that your multi-authored course contributors make edits to their courses. Previously, you had to give them full admin access to do so. But now, you can easily give these users limited access to "Custom content editing".

• To create a role, go to the Admin Panel and select the "Roles" tab.
• If you already have existing Roles, they will appear on this page for you to make edit, assign users, or delete roles. You can also create a new Role by clicking the "Create Role" button.
• After clicking the "Create Role" button, you'll be taken to a page where you can create a Name and define Permissions for your Role. 
• Click "Save" when you've finished adding a Name and checking the Permissions options:
• At this point, your new Role is saved and you'll notice the page is redirected to Role listing page, where you can assign Members of your Organization to the Role you just created.
• Click the "Assign" (member icon) button to go to the assign members page.
• Click the "Assign to users" button to assign members. Simply type in the name, group, or rank of the Member(s) you want to associate to the role, select them from the dropdown list, then use the "Add" button to assign them to the Role.
• When you're done assigning Members to your Role, you can click the "Save" button to save the edits and go back to the Roles page to see it listed under your Organization's Roles list.
