A Site Admin has access that is similar to Site Owner and works great if you need someone to help out with managing your students and courses!
Permissions
A Site Admin has all the same level of permissions as a Site Owner with some exceptions:
- They cannot transfer account ownership. This means they cannot edit the Site Owner's email address or password details.
- They cannot set up a payment integration.
How to Create a Site Admin
A Site Admin is assigned in the same way you would assign any User Role; you can assign the role as part of creating a new user, or add the role to an existing one:
Assign the Site Admin Role While Creating a User
- Click on Support Your Students and select Users
- Select New User on the top right
- Fill in User details
- In User roles section, check off Site Admin
- Select Save on the top right
Assign the Site Admin Role to an Existing User
- Click on Support Your Students and select Users
- Locate desired User within the list
- Click Edit on the right side of the table
- Select User roles
- In User roles section, check off Site Admin
- Select Save on the top right
Notifications
Site Admins will receive email notifications for Discussions, Assignments and Communities. Discussion and assignment notifications must be turned on in your site notification settings.
If you would like your Site Admin to be notified of emails that are sent to the Site Owner, some emails like the Course Welcome Email include a CC field where you can add your Site Admin. If this field is not available for any Site Owner related notifications, we recommend setting up a forwarding rule within your email provider.
Important Considerations
- A user cannot be assigned as both a Course Admin and Site Admin, please select one.
