The platform has set protocols for user roles and functionalities. The user base follows a certain hierarchy, where the administrators provide rights and permissions to other users, based on need, to accomplish their tasks across the platform.

- Content Creator
- Content Reviewer
- Flag Reviewer
- Course Mentor
- Announcement Sender
- Course creator
- Course Admin
- Org Moderator
