User accounts
Blackboard gives you administrator and manager accounts when you are set up. There is only one manager account. You can't create any more. A manager account has the highest level of permission and can create administrator and supervisor accounts.
- Managers: May view institution and session reports. Managers can create administrators and supervisors. Managers cannot create or manage their own recordings. Managers will see only sessions and recordings from sessions that they've been invited to attend by an administrator or supervisor.
- Administrators: May view Session Attendance reports for individual sessions. Administrators can create supervisors, create new sessions, and invite people to them.
- Supervisors: May view Session Attendance reports for individual sessions. Supervisors create sessions and invite people to attend them. Supervisors can create and manage their own sessions and recordings, as well as view sessions and recordings from sessions that they've been invited to attend by an administrator or another supervisor.
You can have more than one administrator account. For example, you may want an administrator to manage users and sessions by department. Only managers can manage administrator accounts.
Supervisor accounts require an administrator to manage them. If you are a manager, assign an existing administrator to all supervisor accounts you create. If you are an administrator, you are automatically assigned as the administrator for all supervisor accounts you create.
If you create a new user account, you need to let them know what their login information is. Collaborate doesn't do this for you.
