I'm wondering if any other LC users have multiple staff working in the LMS like we do. I am the dedicated person, but we have upwards of 15 people with administrative access who are building their own products. There are a couple of features that would be really beneficial for organizations with this model, such as:

  • permissions that are further broken down into specific abilities (i.e. Can only control "this" learning product, or can't edit site pages, or can't edit main menus, etc.). Or, if you wanted to approach it differently, be able to "lock" certain activities/assessments/evaluations/LPs/pages so that only "highest-level SUPER admin"s can edit.
  • customize the "publish" warning messages to check for things that are specific to our organization, and give the "highest-level SUPER admin" the ability to control this message. I.E. "Did you remember to put the webinar date in MMDDYYYY format?" for ASHP users
  • Notify "highest-level SUPER admin" when certain events happen (products are published, notification is put up, etc.)

This is not high-priority stuff for us. Mostly, I'm just curious if other people are even using this model, or if we are the only ones. I tend to set up products for people at first, and then after they reach a certain level of usage, they get a training session on doing it themselves. But as time goes on, I'm finding I have less and less ability/time to make sure everything on our LMS follows the templates and standard of what's there already. Anyone else?

    My organization would also benefit from these sort of permissions. I have a couple contractors working in the LMS, building learning products, but I have to tell them "I'm the only one who will ever click the Publish button," and also trust that they won't inadvertently edit the wrong product. (That can become an error anyone can make, when copying contents of one product to another, as a template.)

    Along these same lines, I would really like my customer service staff to be able to "launch" a product, to see what the learner is seeing. But I can't give them that level of permission without allowing them to edit courses, which would be too much control. (And neither they nor I are interested in the potential risk involved with that!)

    I like your idea of customized reminders/warnings regarding file naming conventions, too. That can be such a hard thing to keep straight, even for the most meticulous developer.
