In order to manage Konstantly effectively, it's necessary to create separate Konstantly accounts for each learner. This allows you to assign courses to them and track their progress. Moreover, you may also need to establish accounts for staff members who will aid in platform management, as well as for course authors responsible for course creation. However, it's crucial to ensure that the users you create are granted specific access privileges within Konstantly. For instance, you may want learners to take tests and view their Reports and Statistics, while preventing them from altering courses or creating additional user accounts. Konstantly provides the means to accomplish this through role assignments.
To view the current list of configured user roles, simply navigate to the "Settings" tab and click on "Role Management."
Each role in Konstantly comes with a set of predefined privileges, determining the extent of functionality available to users within that role. Here are three pre-configured roles that you can assign to an Konstantly user:
Administrator: Konstantly administrators enjoy full access to all platform functionalities. They can add or remove users and groups, create and edit courses, adjust Konstantly settings, and more.
Manager: Managers have access to most of the functionalities available to administrators, with a few exceptions. For instance, they cannot edit user accounts of administrators and other managers.
Learner: Learner accounts have the fewest privileges. Learners can edit their personal information and take courses assigned to them by a manager or an administrator.
If your license permits, you can also create custom user roles by mixing and matching various privileges to precisely tailor the level of access for specific users or user groups to different Konstantly features.
All user roles, except for the Administrator role, are editable and can be removed. Removal of a user role is only possible when there is no user assigned to that role. Additionally, it is possible to quickly create a different user role based on an existing one.
To make edits to a user role, hover your mouse pointer over it and click. This action will display a list of privileges that you can either grant or revoke for the user role. To grant a privilege, simply select the corresponding checkbox, or clear it to revoke the privilege. If you wish to learn more about a specific privilege, hover your mouse pointer over the "i" symbol next to it.
Please be aware that certain privileges can only be granted if another specific privilege has already been granted. For instance, you cannot assign the 'Assign courses to users' privilege without first granting the 'View users' privilege.
