Managing Roles

TrainEasy comes with a powerful role management system that enables you to set permissions for every aspect of the backend.

A role is simply a collection of permissions that specifies what administrators can or cannot do on the backend. By default, two roles are provided after installation

  1. Super Administrator
  2. Administrator
These default roles can not be deleted. Also, the Super Administrator role can not be edited. The super administrator role has access to every aspect of the application. The administrator role by default has access to most features except the settings features.

Understanding Resources

A resource in TrainEasy refers to items created by administrators which are privately owned. Such items include the following:

  1. Sessions & Courses
  2. Classes
  3. Homework
  4. Revision Notes
  5. Downloads
  6. Tests
  7. Discussions
  8. Certificates
  9. Files

The systems tracks who creates what, and by default, Instructors are only able to see and modify items that they create. There is a special permission that controls this feature. It is called 'Global Resource Access'. You can see this permission under the 'Miscellaneous' section when creating or editing roles.
