# Recommendations for CBE User Roles

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](https://docs.elentra.org/learn-elentra-me/user-management/create-users#how-to-bulk-import-users).

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.
