IT administration & access rights

liveForOperator

All accounts with the three access rights that can really be set: role, teaching authorisation and organisation — plus the applicable rules on which role sees which surfaces.

Why#

If someone cannot get in or sees too much, it is almost always down to role, teaching authorisation or organisation — all three are here in one place.

How it works#

Click pathAdministrationIT administration

  1. 1Open “IT administration”.
  2. 2Find an account in the field “Search by name or email…”.
  3. 3In the row choose the role (students, org admin (HR), owner (full access)), tick “Lecturer” for teaching authorisation and choose the organisation (“— none —” possible).
  4. 4“Save” — the row reports “saved” or “error”.
  5. 5At the bottom “Roles & visibility”: which role sees which surfaces; features are enabled under “Features” (Control) (Fig. 1).

Settings and switches#

No switch of its own in the feature catalogue — the feature belongs to its surroundings.

Roles & visibility#

  • Owner — full administration area: costs, watchdog, audit, administration, IT administration, features — as well as all teaching and learning surfaces.
  • Org admin (HR) — HR cockpit: manage employees, assign courses, view progress. No administration area.
  • Teaching authorisation (addition to the role) — teaching: course production, classes and assessment.
  • Students — own dashboard: take courses, learn, view transcripts.

Who may do what#

Only the operator. The list is loaded with elevated rights because profiles would otherwise not be readable due to the database's row-level protection — that is why the page is behind the strictest guard.

Tips#

  • Teaching authorisation is an addition to the role: it opens course production, classes and assessment — regardless of which role the account otherwise has.
  • A role that cannot be chosen here (such as that of the university administration) appears as “(legacy)” and is preserved. Administration accounts with a university function are created under “Accounts & roles”.
