Manage admin permissions in Learning

Users without connected profiles can select Me > Manage users.

Utilizing Learning’s curator, sub-admin, and full-admin permissions provide your organization’s leaders with the information, capabilities, and resources they need to promote and support your learning goals.

Important to know

The ability to download AICC course packages resides solely with the full-admin or sub-admin who has the appropriate IT permissions.

What this means for you

The number of curators and/or admins that can be assigned to a Learning account is only limited by the number of available and activated seats for the account.
You can also grant permissions to new users you’re uploading in bulk via CSV.
Administrator functionality isn’t available within the Learning apps. To access the Learning Management, please use a desktop device.

As an admin, you can restrict sub admin and curator permissions to specific groups, instead of providing the sub admins complete access to all groups. You can limit sub admin access for editing groups, managing users and licenses, recommending content, and viewing and generating reports. You can limit curator access for recommending content.

Here's a tip

All permissions might not have the option for restricting access.

To limit sub admin or curator access to specific groups:

From Learning Management, select Me > Manage users.
On the Users tab, find the learner you want to make an admin or curator from the Filtered users section, or search for the learner using the search bar to the right.

If you select a specific learner from the suggestions that appear in search, you'll be directed to the learner's Enterprise Profile page and may edit admin or curator access directly from the Permissions tab.
Click More to the right of their name, and select Manage permissions.
From the Select sub admin permissions: or Curators are able to: section, click Edit next to Not limited to specific group.

For curators, click Advanced settings to access this field.
From the pop-up window that appears, search for the specific groups you want the sub admin to manage.
You can choose to apply this selection to a single permission by selecting Just this permission from the lower right corner of the pop-up window. However, if you wish to apply the same selection to all the permissions, select All selected permissions.
Click Apply.

Important to know

If you restrict sub admin access permissions to specific groups, they won’t be able to view data from other groups and users within their organization. To extend sub admin visibility to all groups and users, check the Make all groups and users visible to [user name] box at the bottom of the Select sub admin permissions section.

To manage permissions for an existing admin:

From Learning Management, select Me > Manage users.
