Use Case 1: Upload Online Courses
William is a content developer at ABC Corporation. He completed the development of ten different IT Security Policy courses and wants to upload them to the system. William opens the Content Uploader, then drags and drops the files he wants to upload into the upload box. He can track the upload progress and see if the courses were uploaded successfully. Once the files have been uploaded successfully, drafts are automatically created for each course in the Course Catalog.
Use Case 2: Edit and Publish Draft Courses
William sees that one of his courses was uploaded successfully to the system, and now he wants to edit and publish the course. He accesses the Course Catalog and opens the draft course. He previews the course and finds that it works as expected, so he edits the course metadata and publishes it. If needed, he can continue to edit other fields directly from the Course Catalog.

If this permission is constrained by Location, Provider, Training Type, or Training Item, then they can only assign training within the constraints. If this permission is constrained by OU, User, User Self and Subordinates, or User's OU, then they can only assign to and view assignments created by users within the constraints. This is an administrator permission. |

In addition, this permission grants the ability to upload a new zip package as part of the online class versioning process. This permission does NOT grant the ability to publish online classes.
