Update a User to an Administrator
Learn how to update a user to an administrator.
If you have an existing user in your system that is listed as a learner but should now have the permissions of an administrator, you can update that learner’s profile. Below are the steps to update an existing user.
-
Go to Users > Manage Users
-
Search for the individual user and click on their name in the user list to view the User Profile
-
Click Edit under the name then click Edit User
-
Select the User Types And Roles
-
This is a multi-select menu
-
Depending on your organization, there will be options to add administrators for different populations.
-
Check the box(es) for the Admin User Types
-
A user can be both an administrator and a learner
-
Click Next and Update User to save the updates
Caution: Updating an existing user to an administrator will provide that user access to edit other learners’ data, update course configurations, and edit assignments.
