A Role is a permission-based classification assigned to users that defines what they can access and perform within the LMS. Roles ensure proper access control, protecting sensitive content and administrative functions while enabling learners, instructors, and managers to use the system appropriately. Key aspects of roles include: – Predefined sets of permissions for administrators, managers, instructors, and learners – Controlling visibility of courses, content, and reports – Assigning responsibilities for content creation, approval, and monitoring – Supporting hierarchical or custom roles based on organizational structure – Enabling compliance with security and governance policies. Proper role management is critical for system security and operational efficiency.
