Different user types have different permissions within the JUNO learning management system (LMS).
Managers, Learners, and Instructors
Users are organized into Admin groups in the database. Think of an admin group as a school, or whichever type of grouping makes sense for your organization.
Each admin group has one or more Managers. They might be an administrator or school teacher. Their job is to manage all of the Learners (students) in their group by enrolling them in courses.
When learners enroll, or are enrolled, into a Course, they become connected to the course and its Instructor. The instructor is the online teacher. But the instructor isn’t part of the admin group, so they don’t have permission to manage any of the learners.
Finally, a Site admin the platform organizer or staff member who can manage all users and courses.
These user relationships are visualized in the diagram above. User permissions are outlined in detail in the next section.
Permissions for each user type
User type | Who are they? | Which permissions do they have? |
|---|---|---|
Manager | A user who is allowed to manage learners. For example, a school administrator or school teacher. If the Manager is also the Instructor, they can be given both roles. |

Learner | A user who enrolls in an online course. |
|
Instructor | A user who teaches an online course. If the Instructor is also the Manager, they can be given both roles. |
