Anyone who needs to be able to make changes to the set up of the Acumen system, for example add courses or users, first needs to be added as an Administrator. This gives them access to the Administration menu.
When an Administrator is added they have to be assigned a role. The role selected determines the level of access they have and what elements of the Administration system they can amend. From the Administration menu you can also define and edit these roles, and the access rights that go with them.
