Roles & Permissions

💡 Why this matters


Permissions define what each instructor can do in your organization.

Set them once and your team can schedule, run, and submit rosters without extra admin work. You can change permissions anytime.

🧭 How permissions work


When you invite an instructor, you decide whether they can manage sessions.

Setting What they can do Typical use
Can Manage Sessions = No Instructor teaches sessions you create and submits rosters for those classes. Most new instructors.
Can Manage Sessions = Yes Instructor can create/manage sessions for your existing courses, upload docs, manage rosters, submit rosters. Trusted instructors (employer/on-site work, ongoing classes).

You can switch this on/off anytime from the instructor’s profile.

🔧 Change a permission


  1. Instructors → choose an instructor.
  2. Scroll to Permissions.
  3. Set Can Manage Sessions → Yes or No.
  4. Changes apply immediately.

🎓 Issuing certifications = Card-Bank access


Whether an instructor can issue certifications is controlled separately by Card-Bank permissions.

Give issuance access:

  1. Settings → Card Banks.
  2. Select the relevant bank.
  3. Add Issuer to Bank → Save

Card-Bank access is independent of Can Manage Sessions. Use both to balance scheduling autonomy and issuance control.
