illuxiLMS manages administrator access through roles which are often tied to special groups or settings. To give a user administrative privileges on the portal, you typically need to assign them to an admin role or group. Here’s how to grant a user admin access:
Ensure User Account Exists: The person must already have a user account in the portal before you can elevate them to admin. If they don’t, add the user first (see Add a New User above).
Open Group/Role Management: Go to Users > Groups in the Admin Portal. Often, there will be a default group for administrators (e.g., a group named “Administrators” or a specific role group defined by your organization).
Locate the Admin Group: Find the group that corresponds to administrators. If unsure, check if any group has the users who are currently admins. Commonly, illuxiLMS might treat a specific group’s membership as portal admins, or it might use a global toggle per user.
Add User to Admin Group: If an “Administrators” (or similar) group exists, add the user to that group (as described in the previous section). This might automatically grant them admin rights.
Assign Admin Role (Alternate method): In some cases, you might edit the user’s profile or a role assignment directly:
Edit the user record (go to Users, click the user, then Edit).
Look for a Role or Administrator field. It could be a checkbox like “Portal Admin” or a dropdown to choose role (Learner, Instructor, Admin, etc.).
Set the role to Administrator and save.
If the platform uses group-based admin rights, you may see an option like “Is this user a group administrator?” when editing a group membership. Toggling that to Yes for the relevant group can grant admin rights to that scope.
Confirm Admin Access: After updating, the user should now see the Administration option when they log in and click their name. It’s a good practice to test: have the user log in and verify they can enter the admin portal.
For illuxiLMS specifically, an example process is: add the user to a group and then mark them as an administrator of that group, which in some configurations grants higher permissions. Once done, the user “now has administrator rights” on the portal or for that group’s scope.
Always be careful when granting admin access – only give it to trusted users who need to perform administrative tasks. If you need to revoke admin rights, remove the user from the admin group or change their role back to normal user.
