User privileges

Privileges are the access rights that each user type has within TopClass. Super Administrators have access to all areas of TopClass and are not restricted in any way.

Privileges (All Users)

Individual users can have different privileges, which Administrators and Super Administrators can set. All user types have access to a default set of privileges, but Instructors have additional privileges. It can be quite time-consuming to set privileges on an individual user basis, so there is a way of doing it by group operations. If the users are split out into groups within the system, you can add joining and leaving operations to a group to set privileges for each user as they join or leave a group.

• Allow user to change password - Select Yes to allow the user to be able to change their password. If you don't want your user to choose a new password, select No.
• Manager approval - If set to Yes, and the user has one or more managers, the user’s enrollment requests must be approved by a manager before they can be enrolled in classes.
• Valid period - Set the time period during which the user may access TopClass. Click the calendar icon to open a date picker where you can scroll through a calendar, month by month, and select the required date.
• User Price Plans – Set price plan(s) and associated valid period(s) for the user.

  Note

  See Assigning multiple price plans to users for details. Admin access to price plans and pricing configuration (in Activities, Users, and Group Operations) depends on the Shopping Cart Enabled system setting, not on whether the shopping cart or price plans are visible to end users. Administrators retain full access to these tools as long as Shopping Cart Enabled is set to Yes — even if the shopping cart icon is hidden from the interface and price plans are hidden from the catalog. See System Settings: Configuration and System Settings: Catalog for details.

Privileges (Admin Type Users Only)

Online Instructors are Administrators who have been given certain privileges on their user account that allow them to create and edit classes, content, question pools, and pre- and post-work. A user must be given the Admin user type on their user account so they can be assigned as an Instructor on an Online Activity.
