Learning Admin Console - Overview

Learning administrators have access to the Learning Admin Console, which consolidates several training management actions into one central location, allowing them to more easily access critical training information and manage training.

Use Cases

Hallie is a Learning Administrator for a large company. Her main objective is managing and tracking training for users who are categorized in over 100 Organizational Units. This requires her to frequently run reports to track training completions, troubleshoot issues, and work with her team of administrators.

She logs in to her organization’s portal and navigates to the Learning Admin Console. From the top of the console, various widgets allow her to easily search for training, create and manage LOs, and create proxy enrollments. She can view assigned training by status, view unsubmitted rosters for instructor-led training, see what training is requested most often, view the status of proxy enrollments, and see what training has been most highly rated. From these widgets, she can easily manage her organization’s training and gather training data.

At the bottom of the console, Hallie’s recently viewed pages and pinned links display.

Visibility

Visibility of the features on the Learning Admin Console is dependent on three Learning Admin Console permissions and also the existing permissions for viewing and managing the various learning object (LO) types and learning assignments. The Learning Admin Console permissions impact the visibility of the Learning Admin Console generally, the training graph widget, and the Assigned Training and Assigned Past Due widgets. Existing permissions for LO type management and Learning Assignment Tool impact the visibility of the Create options and the other console widgets.

The following constraints criteria is available for permissions which can be constrained:

  • Restrict to Provider
  • Restrict to OU
  • Restrict to Training Type
  • Restrict to User’s OU
  • Restrict to User Self and Subordinates
  • Restrict to User’s ILT Provider
  • Restrict to ILT Provider
  • Restrict to User
  • Restrict to Training Item

For more information about constraining permissions, please see Security Role - Create - Constraints.

Note: If an administrator’s permissions to view various data on the Learning Admin Console is constrained, the data they are able to view in the reporting widgets is limited by those constraints. For example, if an administrator has the permission to view ILT sessions, but the permission is constrained to an ILT Provider, the user can only see session data related to that ILT provider on the Learning Admin Console.

Permissions

Certification - Manage Grants administrators ability to manage certifications. This permission can be constrained by OU and User's OU. This is an administrator permission. Learning - Administration
Course Catalog - Update

Grants ability to manage and edit training items listed in the Course Catalog and also grants access to the Course Console, where training can also be managed and edited. This permission also grants access to the Popular Requests and Highest Rated widgets on the Learning Admin Console (in conjunction with the Learning Admin Console - View permission). This permission also allows administrators to reversion online courses via the Course Console page. This permission also allows administrators to access an Edit Training option for training items included as objectives in Development plans.

This permission can be constrained by OU, User's OU, Training Type, Training Item, Provider, ILT Provider, User's ILT Provider, User, User Self and Subordinates, and User's LO Availability. This is an administrator permission.

Note: Adding an OU constraint and a provider constraint to this permission results in an "AND" statement.

Course Catalog - View

Grants access to view the learning objects in the course catalog and enables administrators to view the Course Console and the Popular Requests and Highest Rated widgets on the Learning Admin Console (in conjunction with the Learning Admin Console - View permission). This permission can be constrained by OU, User's OU, Training Type, Training Item, Provider, ILT Provider, User's ILT Provider, and User's LO Availability. This is an administrator permission.

Adding an OU constraint and a provider constraint to this permission results in an "AND" statement.

Course Publisher

Grants access to LCMS Course Publisher, which enables upload and publishing of SCORM and AICC compliant online courses, created either in the LCMS Course Builder, or from a third party course building tool. Administrators must also be granted a content license from the Manage Licenses page. This is an administrator permission.

After Content Publisher is activated in the system, users with this permission are automatically granted the permissions to upload and publish online classes via the Content Publisher, and also the permission to view the Upload History page.

Tip: Do not constrain this permission to your entire corporation; it can cause long page load times and timeout errors. Applying this constraint is functionally the same as leaving the permission unconstrained, but omitting this constraint does not cause the system to do the unnecessary constraint checks as in the former scenario.
