Q. How do you get content creation rights on the platform?

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.

Strategically, every organization should have designated system administrators, who create and assign rights to organizational administrators, who in turn create roles viz,

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