Roles


While the set of roles in PathcoreScholar cannot be modified, the set of permissions associated with each role is visible. A user's permissions are the set of actions the user can perform with the data that is accessible to them (e.g. edit, view, delete). To learn more about each permission, see Permissions.

System Roles

There are three roles that are pre-defined in the system. These roles cannot be modified and are always available. The predefined roles are as follows:

  • Administrator: users with this role can create users, access team management functions, and have access to all classes and all the data in the Repository
  • Educator: users with this role can create classes, enroll existing users into classes, manage class content, access class reports, and have access to all the data in the Repository
  • Student: users with this role can only access the classes they have been enrolled in from the student portal and cannot access the Repository

Permissions

Permissions define the set of actions that users can perform with the data that is accessible to them (e.g. download, edit, view).

Permission Flags

User permissions are achieved through a set of fine-grained flags that team Administrators can use to manage what actions users can perform with the data they can access. Permissions are divided into several categories of privileges that span actions at team level, image level, folder level, and file level.

All entries in the Repository that are detected as a supported image format are treated as an “Image” type and have dedicated permissions flags. All other entries in the Repository (e.g. reports, Figures, attachments) are treated as “Files” and also have dedicated permissions.
