Give users more permissions as Promoted Members

What's in it for you

You can delegate control of specific aspects or tasks in your organization, by assigning extra permissions to users. A Promoted Member is a regular user who is granted additional permissions to allow them to configure content structure, courses and paths, user access, and more. An admin may determine their Promoted Members' level of access by selecting specific permissions as needed.

Key features

• Grant additional permissions to another user
• Choose permissions granularly

See how it looks for your users

Depending on the options you enable as an administrator, Promoted Members will see different tabs in Showpad's Online Platform. Promoted Members will always see the users within the organization. If the Manage Users & Groups permission was not activated, it will not be possible to add, update, and remove users for your Promoted Member.

Here you can see how it looks for some Promoted Users on Showpad's Online Platform:

Manage Content & Experiences is enabled while Manage Courses & Paths is disabled

This setting enables content management and the ability to view courses without managing them.

 Manage Spotlights & Announcements is enabled

This user can reach other users by sending announcements or creating spotlights.

Note: When you send an announcement to all users as a Promoted Member, all users will receive your message.

See Reporting is enabled

The user can access reports through the third tab, but cannot edit courses or content.
