TalentLMS is structured around three main user roles: Administrator, Instructor, and Learner. These roles form the basis for default user types (SuperAdmin, Admin-type, Trainer-type, and Learner-type) and custom user types.

You can:

A. Change a user’s main role across your portal by assigning them a different user type.
B. Change a user’s role in a single course (switching between Learner and Instructor), depending on their assigned user type permissions.

A. Change a user’s main role across your portal

Each user is assigned to a single user type, which may combine attributes from multiple roles. For example, the Admin-type includes Administrator, Instructor, and Learner permissions by default.

Here’s how:

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator and go to Users (1).
2. Click Edit (2) next to the user you wish to update, to access their Info tab.

3. Scroll down to locate the User Type section and choose the desired user type from the drop-down list. (3).
4. Click Save (4) to apply the changes.

B. Change a user’s role in a specific course

Users are assigned to courses as either Learners or Instructors, based on their user type permissions. Since some user types include attributes from both roles, you can change a user’s role in a specific course.

1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator and go to Users (1).
2. Click on the desired user to open their Courses tab.
3. Under the Role column, next to the relevant course, click Learner and select Instructor (2), or vice versa.
