It is possible to add multiple admins to Easy LMS and grant them different permissions. In this article, we will explain the different admin types and their permissions, how they can be useful to you, and how to add more admins to your account.

Having multiple admins with different permissions is essential, particularly for GDPR compliance and security, and privacy. With multiple admins, each has their own login credentials. It's secure and easy to manage.

Easy LMS has two types of admins:

The account owner is the person who first created and purchased the account and is responsible for billing. They are the only admin who can delete the account. They are also a global admin who can manage all participants, content, and admins across the whole account.

You cannot delete the account holder's seat, but you can transfer ownership.

Account admins have different roles based on the permissions that are granted to them. The admin permissions apply on an account level. Changing an account admin's role per course or exam is impossible. However, account admins can have layered access in the academy. We will describe that in more detail below.

Account admins consume admin seats and can be removed, changed, and edited as needed.

A global admin can manage all settings and create, edit, and delete learning content. They are the only type of admin who can create and edit content.

They have all permissions across the account, which means they can also manage other account admins and export data.

The academy admin has access to all or only specifically assigned academies. They can manage academy settings and assign existing learning content within their academies. They cannot create or edit content and cannot create more academies.

In their academies, they can:

Granting this permission can be beneficial when offering learning services to clients and overseeing their Easy LMS accounts. It enables you to maintain exclusive content creation and editing rights while granting your clients the ability to manage their participants and access results.

All groups

An academy group's admin assigned to all groups can access all academy groups. They can't create or edit content.

They can:

This permission is helpful if you want to separate the academy and content management from participant management. For example, a manager could set up all the learning content, IT could set up the academy, and HR needs to invite the employees to their corresponding groups. In this example, HR could be an academy group admin assigned to all groups.

Specific groups

An academy group admin assigned to specific groups can only access their assigned group(s). They cannot create or edit content. You can restrict their permissions to one or more groups. You can further restrict what admins of specific groups can and cannot do within their assigned group(s). You can determine whether they can:

This permission helps restrict admin permissions to specific groups of people. For example, a franchise or organization with different departments can assign store managers and department heads to specific academy groups. They would only see their corresponding department or store.

Both plans include one admin, the account owner, but you can always purchase additional seats. Each additional administrator seat costs €8/$10.

You can purchase additional admin seats and manage admins from My account > Administrators.
