Tool tabs give access to a specific tool within Blackboard Learn. Multiple tool tabs can be created to allow specific institution roles access to specific tools. For example, users with an institution role of Student could be given access to a tab that displayed the My Grades tool. This tab would most likely not be made available to users with an institution role of Alumni.
