Security Profiles

Security Profiles control the various “permissions” given to each user in the LMS.

Users > Edit User > Security Profiles.

These are usually set up by default as Standard User when the end-user data is imported (see the SecurityProfileCode topic); however, you can also assign these manually. The features and functionality you and the other users see in the LMS will depend on which Security Profile(s) have been assigned.

To provide flexibility as to what a user can and cannot do in the LMS, users can be assigned more than one Security Profile (once end-user data has been imported).
