Role and domain access levels
Access levels depend on two features:
Role
Comes with role-based permissions, such as creating users or running reportsDomain access
This defines where you can use your permissions. Domain content can include users, Learning Paths and modules, reports, audience groups, and email templates
You can have multiple roles and domain access levels. Each are linked, so it's not possible to have a role without domain access, or domain access without a role.
Examples
You have three content domains:
Content - Skillcast London
Content - Skillcast Malta
Content - Skillcast Greece
You give a colleague based in London:
The role: Content Editor
Access to the domain: Content - Skillcast London
When your London colleague logs in, they can access content management and manage content in the domain Content - Skillcast London:
You also give a colleague based in Malta:
The role: Content Editor
Access to the domain: Content - Skillcast Malta
When your Malta colleague logs in, they can access content management and manage content in the domain Content - Skillcast Malta.
A manager of both colleagues may need to manage content on both domains. So their role may be a Portal admin, with permissions to access all content domains:
By giving colleagues in different locations access to different domains, you can restrict access to user data in each region. Then, if you change the colleague's role, such as to a Reporter, they can only report on the same domain.
