User Permissions

Most use of features in Elentra is based on a users group and role permission. A user can be assigned multiple group and role permissions within an organization and can hold the same permission across multiple organizations.

Below are group and role settings and their general system permissions. Please remember that your installation of Elentra may have customized aspects of the software and changed the access of specific group and roles.

Group	Role	System Permissions
Alumni	Year of Graduation	Have basic read-only access.
Faculty	Admin	Faculty Admin can pretty much do anything in the system within their designated organisation.
Faculty	Director	Course Directors can edit the content of any course pages / website or learning event that they are designated as a "Course Director" for on the Admin > Manage Courses page.
Faculty	Faculty	Basic read-only access as faculty members.
Faculty	Lecturer	Teaching faculty can edit the content of any learning event that they are scheduled to teach.
Medtech	Admin	System administrators can pretty much do anything in the system regardless of any organizational restrictions.
Medtech	Staff	Have basic read-only access.
Resident	Lecturer	This can be used in UG installations where residents act as lecturers.
Resident	Resident	This can be used in UG installations where residents play some role. Do not use this group and role for PG installations of Elentra using CBME; in that case the residents should be student:year.
Staff	Admin	Organization administrators can pretty much do anything in the system within their designated organisation.
Staff	Pcoordinator	Can add, edit, or delete learning events and manage any content within any of the courses they are designated as a "Program Coordinator" for on the Admin > Manage Courses page
Staff	Staff	Staff members have basic read-only access.
Staff	Translator	TBD
Student	Year	Students have basic read permissions to most public modules. They can also edit and in some cases remove information that they add themselves (e.g. discussion forum comments). It is important to note that students cannot be granted access to any administrative module within Elentra. There is a hard-coded exit in case all other security restrictions fail and they access /admin/*

Staff>Admin group and role is organisation specific whereas Medtech>Admin can access all organisations within an installation.

If you are creating users for an organisation with Competency-Based Medical Education enabled, you should assign the learners group: student, role: year for the learners to appear on the necessary screens.
