Managing Group Categories

As an Admin, you can manage access to Groups within a category or section by configuring specific permissions at each level. These permissions can be tailored based on job roles and your academy’s organizational structure, allowing you to define access rules according to each user’s job within a given category or section.

Organizing Group Categories Within Sections

To enhance the organization of your training content, you have the option to group categories within sections

You can create new sections by selecting the Edit Categories button, followed by choosing the Add New Section option.

This structure provides greater flexibility when managing and presenting your materials.

Each section includes configurable visibility settings, which allow you to define specific criteria that determine who can view the content.

By selecting the gear icon next to a section, you can perform the following actions:

  • Delete the section (if it is no longer needed)

  • Edit the section name

  • Adjust permissions to control visibility

  • Reorder the section’s position within the list
