Permissions by Role

The tables below list the permissions available to each administrative role. An X indicates permissions that are on by default, and a C indicates that the permission can be turned on for that role. To customize a role, see Role Customization. All default permissions can be turned off.

The domain admin role, a specific role for multi-site and granted by your Skillsoft account team, has the same permissions as the site admin role plus specific multi-site management functions. If you want domain administrators to be able to access the Learning Edge, please contact your Skillsoft account team.

The system integrator role must be turned on by your Skillsoft account team. This role has limited admin capability including access only to the Users menu, custom content options, and reporting. They can access the System integration option from the Settings menu that allows them to configure SAML, SFTP, and content imports and exports with other systems in their learning environment.

The custom admin roles use the default permissions of the learning admin role and have the same customization options as the learning admin role. You can configure the custom roles different from the learning admin role to create a unique role for your organization.

The lists are organized by the sections of the Percipio admin menu. Items bolded in blue correspond to options in the Role Customization interface. Hyperlinked items not showing in bold are functions included as part of the bolded item. When you see an X, the setting is on by default, but can be turned off. If you see a C, the item is off by default, but can be turned on. You cannot turn off settings for a site admin without speaking to your Skillsoft account team.

Compliance Interface

Each Percipio role maps to a default Compliance role. In order for the Compliance roles to perform administrative tasks, a Percipio site admin must define security levels for each Compliance role before the user can access the Compliance admin interface and perform administrative tasks. Any Compliance role is not scoped to the audience owned by that Percipio user.

If a user with a role other than Percipio site admin needs to access the Compliance admin interface, they must:

1. From the Percipio profile drop-down, select Compliance.
2. From the Compliance profile drop-down, select Administrative tasks.
