The default permissions for each user role have a certain degree of customization that is allowed. Account admins can create custom roles based on an existing default user role, and the custom role will inherit the default permissions of the user role it is based on. Custom roles can be used to modify default roles without any restrictions.
Notes:
• This feature is enabled by default for account admins, but can be turned on for admins and IT admins.
• Custom user roles can be deleted; however, default user roles cannot be deleted.
• Account admins can assign and modify user roles to learners on the Users page.
• Admins can limit a manager’s default permissions but cannot give the manager role additional permissions.
• Additional permissions can only be given to managers by assigning them an additional role like admin or account admin.
• This feature is not available in Bridge for Teams accounts.
