16 The complex roles and rights system of the learning platform extends across the following levels:
17
18 * System level
19 * Combination of user and content level
20 * Content level

33 The learning platform generally differentiates between four main roles:
34
35 * Guest
36 * Registered user
37 * Author
38 * System administrator
39
40 In addition to these four main roles, it is also possible to assign more specific roles:
41
42 * Group administrator
43 * User administrator
44 * Learning resource administrator
45 * Group tutor
46
47 According to their assigned role, users will receive specific rights which allow them to act within the institution released for them.

139 "Rights to manage learning resources" here refers to all **editing functions** of a learning resource, e. g. of a course, but not to the course view. This means a learning resource administrator will see the course view in the same way as a learner. In the case of [[visibility and access restrictions>>doc:LMS._Include Library.Kursseiten.Kurshauptknoten\: Verfügbare Tabs im Editor.Sichtbarkeit und Zugriff.WebHome]], these rules will therefore also apply to a learning resource administrator, depending on the configuration.

157 The group management right **extends the user role.** In the case of general visibility and access rules for course elements, e. g. "Blocked for learners", users with the right to manage groups will therefore not be affected and may potentially see course elements in the course view or have access to these elements' content. The [[Internal course area for a limited user group>>doc:LMS.Benutzerhandbuch OPAL.Lehren.Leitfäden.Kursinternen Bereich für eine eingeschränkte Nutzergruppe.WebHome]] help page describes a possible solution for a scenario in which group tutors should not have access to specific course information.

162 {{tip}}
163 User administrators can assign the "author" system role individually for several institutions (attributes) in the settings for each user. This supports the scenario that an author can also find other authors (from the other institution configured in their system role) for their own learning resources and assign them as owners.
164 {{/tip}}
165
166 {{info}}
167 The "author" system role can also be set automatically by the system when configured values are transmitted (e. g. via Shib login). If you wish to activate this function for your institution, we will be happy to assist you.

173 === Right groups ===
174
175
176 Besides the roles listed above, it is also possible to grant registered users without author rights access to certain administrative course areas. This is done via right groups.
177
178 These administrative areas may include:
179
180 * Administration of a course's group management
181 * Administration of a course's assessment management
182 * Administration of a course's content
183 * etc.
184
185 These rights can be assigned individually to participants by an author.
186

189 === Visibility and access ===
190
191
192 [[Access to learning content>>doc:LMS.Benutzerhandbuch OPAL.Lehren.Kurs.Freigabe von Kursen und Kursinhalten.WebHome]] can be individually regulated as required. You can generally limit content for everyone in terms of
193
194 * Visibility and
195 * Access
196
197 or you can impose certain conditions:
198
199 * Time period
200 * Group membership
201 * Assessment (passed, score, mark, etc.)
202 * User attributes (department, name, email, institution, etc.)
203 * User type (author, user, etc.)
204
205 Of course, these general and specific limitations can also be combined.
