Group Admin's Permissions

A Group Admin's permission can be configured by the site admin to allow several admins of specific groups to manage the users within their own groups. If these permissions are not enabled, then only the site admin can perform User Management operations. These permissions allow fully delegated user management instead of relying on site admins.

These permissions can be configured from the Site Admin -> Site Details - Security Tab

Group Admin's Dashboard

My Groups Widget

If the My Groups panel is enabled to display on the dashboard, it shows a few additional action buttons/links for groups where the current user is an admin. These additional links/buttons are:

  • View Members Link - this link opens the members tab of the group
  • + Add - this button opens user creation screen. The new user will be added to this group upon creation.
  • ++ Add - this button opens bulk user creation screen. Like the previous option, all new users will be added to this group upon creation.
  • Report - this button opens the course enrollments report for this group.

Although by default, the My Groups panel on the dashboard displays all the groups where the user is a member (and not just the groups where the user is admin), Site Admins can restrict the My Groups widget to show only group admins. This setting can be enabled from the site admin's my group panel's settings. 

 

Group Summary Widget

The Group Summary widget provides a quick summary of group members' activities like the total sign-ins, course player launches, tests taken, and topics posted on a Monthly/Weekly/Daily scale. The Enrollments tab provides course/program enrollment/completion data presented as a bar chart. The Group Details tab presents the group's general details like total members, admins, instructors, and the group owner. Links are provided to access the Group Members page. 

The summary widget can be enabled using GROUP_ADMIN_DASHBOARD_WIDGET=true.

  • GA has a coordinator role in groups where course session/program is created
  • Group admin is not allowed to enroll learners in course sessions/program sessions created in any ancestor group with the accessType of 'By Invite'.
