This article provides information and guidance on a portion of the Absorb LMS Admin Experience that is now upgraded to the refreshed Admin Experience (AE).
Please visit our Absorb Admin Refresh Checklist article for more details about what is available with the free Absorb Admin Experience upgrade.
The Admin Refresh has made it easier for you to configure granular Role permissions. Each administrative area now has a section listing the permission set available for the feature or process.
Previously, Course permissions were configured as View, Modify, and Delete. The Admin Refresh experience has expanded the Modify permission based on the different tiles or sections that exist on the page. This setup allows administrators (with the appropriate permissions) to add or remove access to different areas of the Admin Interface.
The attached document is a companion to the Absorb Knowledge Base article and provides a comparison of the default Role permission sets.
