Access Setup - Genius Enterprise Legacy/Custom

Written by Faye Admin

*Please note that if you have customized your instance of Genius, your site might operate differently.

Below is the overview of all the current default permissions for the included roles. An authorized user (usually the system administrator) can manage and override any of those permissions. All the permissions are divided into two larger categories:

  • User permissions (admin, manager (affiliation), coach, instructor)

  • Learner permissions - those who will only see the training offerings.

The table lists all user-based roles, where the X indicates that the permission is enabled (turned on), and the cell is empty, meaning the access is not set up by default. All changes can be made under Administration > Access Setup. At the bottom of the page, you will find an attachment containing all the listed permissions for download.
