Once you have created your course URL, you might like to set up the roles of who will be involved in the course. If you aren't sure yet of these, you can set this up later.

There are three different levels of user roles depending on the subscription plan that you are on.

Subscription level: 

A subscription owner is a user who first signed up for an OpenLearning subscription plan. They have full access to everything in the subscription. They can:

• view usage,
• change subscription plan
• change billing information
• manage institutions and  courses
• add other users as subscription administrators 

There can only be one subscription owner. If you would like to change the user for this role, please contact us.

A subscription administrator is someone who has access to view account usage and billing information.

• They don’t have the ability to change subscription plans or billing information. 
• They have permission to create the portal and add institution administrators through the Manage subscription > Manage institution page.
• They can view course payment reports.
• They can add other users as subscription administrators.
• They can use the Enrolment APIs for a course under that subscription.

Institution level: 

An institution administrator is someone who is involved in setting up and managing the institution. They have access and edit privileges in the institution setting and can add other users to their institution. 

A course creator is someone who has the ability to create courses within the institution. They can also administer or facilitate the courses they have been added to. They can't edit the institution settings.

An educator is someone who can be assigned to courses as course administator or course staff but can't create courses themselves. They don't have access to Institution settings.

Course level: 

A course administrator is someone who is involved in the designing, building and editing of a course. They have maximum permissions within a course and access to all tabs (Course Setup, Administer Learners, Assessment).

A course facilitator is someone who is involved in facilitating the course once it is online and accessible to learners. A facilitators' primary role is to engage and interact with learners. They cannot edit or modify content. You might be both an administrator and a facilitator, or you might have different people undertaking these roles. A facilitator has access to the Administer Learners tab only.

An assessment designer is someone who is involved in creating assessment reports and customise the alignment of activities to learning outcomes.

An assessor is someone who is involved with reviewing and evaluating learner work via reports created by assessment designers.

Learners will only be able to access/enrol in a course that has been turned online.
