Blackboard | Can I assign an administrator to a node? What does this mean? – Support and administration guides

When we use the institutional hierarchy, we can assign administrators – and in fact, any system role – to each of the nodes in that hierarchy.

This means that each of them will have the privileges assigned by the system role they have been assigned, but only over those resources (users, courses, tools) that are associated with the node.

For example, a user administrator can create, edit, and delete users. If the system role is assigned at the instance level, this administrator will be able to create, edit, and delete any user in the system. However, if it is assigned at the node level, they will only be able to create users in that node, and when searching for users to edit or delete, only those associated with the node they administer will be listed.

These permissions are very useful, especially for organizations with multiple units that work independently from each other.

To assign an administrator to a node, go to Admin Panel > Communities > Institutional Hierarchy and click on the node where you want to add an administrator user. Click on the Administrators tab to list the administrators already added to the node.

Click Add Administrator, enter the username – or search using the Browse... button – and select the system role or roles you want to assign. Finish by clicking Submit.
