This article explains the existing default roles in the system and how to create a new, custom group manager security role.
To access the Roles and permissions page, hover over Users in the main menu and select Roles and permissions.
Predefined roles
There are four default roles in the system:
- Administrator – A role with all permissions in the system that can fully access and manage all application modules.
- Instructor – A role with higher-level permissions than a regular user, instructors can manage their groups, question pools, tests, and reports, while only previewing the content not managed by them.
- Student – A primary user who can take assigned tests, surveys, training courses, and view/print personal certificates.
- Proctor – Proctors can monitor candidate progress on tests and supervise them in real time.

To create a new, custom role using permissions:
- Click the New role button.
