User Management#

FlightPath provides administrators with tools for managing user accounts and controlling what staff users can access.

The user management system is built around three related concepts:

• Users are the individual people who have accounts in FlightPath.
• Roles are groups of permissions that can be assigned to staff users.
• Permissions determine what users with a particular role can do.

Most institutions automatically import their users from an SIS or LMS, so administrators generally do not need to create user accounts manually.

User management topics#

• Managing Users — View, add, and edit user accounts, including assigning roles to staff users.
• Roles — Create and manage roles for staff users.
• Permissions — Control what each role can access and do.

Together, these features allow administrators to configure FlightPath access according to the responsibilities of different staff members.
