Within itslearning, all users are assigned to a profile. The profile decides the role of the user. Common roles are system administrators, administrators, teachers, students, and guests. Profiles are given different access rights and permissions. Some profiles are allowed to do things that others are not allowed to do.
For example, a teacher can add assignments and tests in a course, while students are limited to answering and taking tests and assignments.
There are three groups of profiles:
- Site: The site profiles contain a set of profiles that describe what rights and permissions the profiles have on the site. The default profiles are system administrator, administrator, staff, student, guest, and AICC. You can always add new profiles and change the names of the default profiles.
- Course: The course profiles decide what functions the different profiles have access to in the courses. The default profiles are administrator, teacher, student, guest. You can always add new profiles and change the names of the default profiles.
- Community: The community profiles decide what functions the different profiles have access to in the community. The default profiles are community manager and community participant. You can always add new profiles and change the name of the default profiles.
