You can learn how to invite users, assign and manage Skilljar dashboard permissions here

Dashboard Roles & Permissions

Skilljar dashboard roles can be assigned to a dashboard user and grant them the permissions associated with that role, such as an admin or course manager. A user can also have multiple roles, granting them permissions in all of the roles in which they're assigned. 

Admins or users with the ‘Organization Settings Admin’ can manage and add new Dashboard users. We currently offer the following roles through our Dashboard:

Role

What it does - Permission

Global Administrator Users with this permission have access to everything on the Dashboard (no hidden pages).
Analytics Admin

Users with this permission have access to the Analytics pages and all customer data that is displayed on those pages.

The Group Analytics and Strategic Insights pages are not included in this default role.

This role is currently assigned by selecting “All” for the “Analytics” role.

Announcements Admin The Announcements Admin can access all pages and functions under “Announcements”.
API Admin

The API Admin can access all pages and functions under “API”.

Codes Admin The Codes Admin can access all pages and functions under “Codes”.
Course Management Admin

Users with this permission have access to the following functions: Authoring courses, creating and managing assets, creating and managing quizzes, and creating and managing SCORM.

Access to specific courses and assets can be granted by selecting "Limited" on the Course Access and Asset Access dropdowns in the Object Access section. When "Limited" is selected, the following restrictions apply:

They can create and edit courses that are assigned to them.

When they create a new course, it is automatically added to their list of ‘allowed’ courses.

They can only see templates that are associated with objects they have access to.

They can see quizzes and other assets that belong to courses they have access to.

They can only edit quizzes and assets that are specifically assigned to them.

Domains & Publishing Admin The Domains & Publishing Admin can access all pages and functions under “Domains and Publishing”.
Groups Admin

Users with this permission have access to all functions on the Groups page: Adding new groups, managing group members, managing group rules, edit visibility rules.

Live Training Admin

The Live Training Admin can see the Live Training page with all events. The admin can be limited to seeing events that they are the assigned instructor for.

With the Easy ILT feature, we will add clone functionality to that page. This function will only be accessible by users that have the Live Training AND Content Admin OR Content Manager role for the specific course they want to clone.

Order Report Admin The Order Report Admin can access all pages and functions under “Order Reports”.
Organization Admin

The Organization Admin can access all pages and functions under “Organization”.

  • This admin can also Manage Live Training integrations.
Students Admin The Students Admin can access all pages and functions under the “Students” sub-tab of the "Students" tab.
Tasks Admin The Tasks Admin can access all pages and functions under “Tasks”.
Theming Admin The Theming Admin can access all pages and functions under “Themes”.


You also have the option of creating custom roles

Dashboard Access

Skilljar dashboard Permissions enable a user to perform an action or see part of the Skilljar Dashboard. Permissions generally enable access (vs restrict or hide something). Dashboard Users are not granted individual Permissions. Permissions must be grouped into a dashboard role, which is then assigned to a user.

You can make your Dashboard user a global administrator, or you can assign access to one or several different Dashboard areas:

  • Note: The view you see on your Skilljar dashboard may differ from the below screenshot based on the available roles within your Skilljar package. Please reach out to our customer success team to learn more.

Object Access

Some Dashboard Permissions may be associated with access to objects (Courses, Assets & Quizzes, Student Groups, and Catalog Pages). The Dashboard Permission may grant the Dashboard User permission to do a particular action, but then individual objects (specific Courses, for example) need to be assigned to the User for them to access.
