Employee privileges

error_outline Only administrators can perform this action

Employee privileges can be used to restrict access for employees to certain actions in Ans. If a checkbox is changed, it is immediately saved and the consequences are directly effective for all employees in the platform.

The options within the employee privileges will not be applied to users with an administrator or department administrator role. If you would like to change the privileges of administrators or department administrators, you can use custom roles.

If you are using both employee privileges and custom roles, some authorisations could influence each other. For example:

• Under employee privileges, the checkbox to create courses is checked OFF
• In a custom role based on an instructor, the toggle to create courses is turned ON

To prevent any undesired privacy- (and/or security) issues, Ans will prefer the option with the least authorisation. In the example above the user will not be able to create courses, if any of the two options are turned off.

Employee privileges can be changed by following the steps below.
