User role recommendations

Thoughtful role planning is required for Manager Dashboard users. D2L recommends setting up the following (or similar) org-level roles for Manager Dashboard, in consultation with D2L Implementation Services:

• Learning/Development Manager or Administrator – this role requires access to Attributes management and the Learning Groups tool.
• People/Teams Manager – this role requires access to the Manager Dashboard tool to view their teams, assign users to courses, and view user progress through courses.
• Learners – this role is required for any user who may be enrolled in a course manually or automatically based on their attributes.

Note: Manager Dashboard is an org level tool that requires users to have an org level role, in addition to any other org unit or course level role they may have. When a learner is enrolled in a course or an org unit, they may be assigned a new role in that course or org unit, but they would still retain their org level role for org level tools such as Manager Dashboard. However, when users change jobs at their organization, they may get a different org level role assigned.
