User Permissions

Most use of features in Entrada is based on a users group and role permission. A user can be assigned multiple group and role permissions within an organization and can hold the same permission across multiple organizations.

Below are group and role settings and their general system permissions.

Group	Role	System Permissions
Faculty	Director	Faculty:Director can be designated as "Course Directors" for specific courses. They will be able to edit the content of any course pages/websites or learning events in the course they are affiliated with.
Faculty	Lecturer	This is the most common permission for faculty to have. Faculty:Lecturer users can edit the content of any learning event that they are scheduled to teach. They can also be added as graders to assignments and set as assessors for distributions.
Medtech	Admin	Medtech:Admin permissions are generally used for technical staff who support an Elentra installation. Medtech:Admin can view all records in the system and do anything regardless of any organizational restrictions.
Resident	Lecturer	This can be used in UGME installations where residents act as lecturers or preceptors for Logbooks.
Staff	Admin	Staff:Admin permissions allow a user to access almost all content within an organisation. Staff:Admin users can view and manage all courses (including gradebooks) and events, see user profiles, and edit some system settings. Typically this permission is used for curriculum coordinators (i.e., someone who is responsible for managing all courses in a given year) and sometimes for assessment and evaluation coordinators, accreditation coordinators, etc. In contrast to medtech:admin users, staff:admin users only have access to organizations in Entrada that they are permissioned to. Also note that a user must have staff:admin permissions to be added as a curriculum coordinator of a course.
Staff	Pcoordinator	Staff:Pcoordinator (as in program coordinator) can add, edit, or delete learning events and manage any content within any of the courses they are designated as a "Program Coordinator" for on the Admin > Manage Courses > Setup tab. This permission is more limited than staff:admin.
Staff	Staff	Staff members have basic read-only access.
Student	Student	Students/Residents/Learners have basic read permissions to most public modules. They can also edit and in some cases remove information that they add themselves (e.g. discussion forum comments). It is important to note that students cannot be granted access to any administrative module within Entrada. There is a hard-coded exit in case all other security restrictions fail and they access /admin/*
