By default, the LMS role 'LMS Administrator' will include the ability to create and manage Pathways and Milestones. In this article, we'll show how to assign permission to Users with lower-level LMS roles to perform these tasks. This is done using ACL permissions. The specific permission required is:
- Admin.Pathways
Adding this permission to an LMS role allows users with that role to create and manage Pathways and Milestones without needing full administrator access.
For an overview of ACL permissions, including how to add or remove them, View ACL permissions: manage access to specific features and functions in Learn.
You can also watch the short video below for a quick overview.
