Ideally your users will be loaded into Elentra from a central, authoritative source like a student information system. Manually adding users through Admin>Manage Users is a possibility and more detailed instructions for using this tool are available here.
If you are manually setting up CBE users, please note the following:
Resident learners should be assigned group: student, role: student.
Program Administrators should be assigned group: staff, role: Pcoordinator. Further, they must be assigned to a specific program in order to access the relevant CBE and Assessment and Evaluation features. To give specific staff more ability to act within Elentra set them up as Staff>Admin. Note that Staff>Admin have access to almost all features of Elentra and can access System Settings.
Faculty should be assigned group: faculty, role: faculty, lecturer, or director depending on their role.
Faculty directors will have access to all faculty evaluations within their program (except their own).
Someone with faculty director permissions will still have to be added to a specific program in order to access the relevant CBE and Assessment & Evaluation features.
Any faculty, regardless of their role, can be added to Competence Committees through a course/program setup page or as Academic Advisors through the program Groups tab.
