This topic describes how to create, update, and delete administrator groups.
For a general introduction to administrator groups, see: Administrator Groups
On the Create Administrator Group page:
Enter the name of the group.
Enter a description of the group.
Enter the start and end dates to define the availability of the group.
After you define the basic details of the group, click the Components link to define the components of the group.
The name of the user who creates the administrator group appears automatically in the Components in Administrator Group table. You can add individual administrators as members of the group. You can add more than one member at a time by selecting an administrator group as a component.
You can update details of an administrator group to meet your requirements. You can either add members or remove members from the administrator group. Only members of an administrator group can edit an administrator group.
Remove the Restriction on Access to a Category to make it Available to all Administrators
If access to a category is restricted using an administrator group, then this restriction can be removed by the learning administrator, who can access that particular category.
After restrictions are placed on access to a category, there may be business requirements to make the category and content within the category available to all administrators. In such a scenario, you can remove the restriction by selecting the Remove Administrator Group check box in the Update Category page. If you select the Remove Administrator Group check box and click Apply, a concurrent program runs in the background that removes the association between category and administrator group. The category and the content within the category then become accessible to all administrators.
Note: : The Remove Administrator Group check box is displayed only for the topmost category associated with the administrator group. This check box is not displayed for categories within the topmost category.
If you remove the administrator group from the category, then the restriction based on the administrator group is removed for:
The specific category and all the objects within this category.
The folder that has content objects associated with this category and any object within this category.
The application also removes the secondary associations this category has with any secured Course, Learning Path, Learning Certification, Forum or Chat.
See: Categories
You cannot delete an administrator group that is associated with a category or folder.
