event April 9, 2025 inbox_text Registering User
In DigitalChalk, user roles determine the level of access and functionality available to each user.
Here’s how to add roles to users:
- Navigate to the Users page by clicking “Lead” and then “Users” in the left-hand menu.
- Click on “Add User” or find an existing user to edit.
- In the user creation/editing form, you’ll find a section to set the user’s role.
- Select the appropriate role from the dropdown menu. Options include:
- Course Administrator
- Organization Administrator
- Offering Facilitator
- Organization Developer

Important notes:
- The Organization Administrator role has the highest level of access, including the ability to manage finances, users, and system settings.
- Course Administrators can create and manage courses, grades, and discussions.
- Offering Facilitators can view and monitor student activity in assigned offerings.
- Administrative roles cannot be assigned during bulk user imports and must be added individually.
- Organization Developer only grants access to API keys
Remember to click “Save” after assigning or changing a user’s role.
