An Administrator (Admin) is a User with specific permissions in the LMS that allow them to manage Users, Courses, Reports, and other Settings. In the LMS, the Admin has access to the Admin Experience (AE), which is a specific location in the LMS that is restricted to Admins. Here the Admins can create or edit Users, Courses, Departments, and update other Settings as necessary. Within the AE, Admins can use the Admin Interface (AI) to navigate to the various pages and reports. This interface consists of the User Interface (UI) elements, such as menus, buttons and drop-downs that allow an Admin to move within the various parts of the AE. This article houses a collection of helpful articles related to the Admin role and their responsibilities. If you are a new Admin in the LMS, this article is a great place to get started to learn more about your new role.
