Administrators will have access to all of their users, course content, reporting, etc. Below is a guide to the Admin Interface.
To navigate to the Admin Interface, you can login to https://get.caddcommunity.com/admin/.
Or you can first login normally to CADD Community. From the stacked icon at the top left, admins will click on Admin from the pop up sidebar. This will automatically direct admins to the Admin Interface Dashboard.
The admin main dashboard has buttons at the bottom that will allow you to Add a Course, Add User, or Update your profile.
Depending on your purchased license, you may have different options available to you for access.
The side menu located on the left is the primary navigation tool. It is organized into group areas that expand when clicked on. You may have access to some or all of the below, depending on your admin level purchased.
- Courses — Set up everything related to your online and instructor led courses
- Users — Useful for managing and organizing Users and Administrators.
- Engage — Browse articles, billboards, and more
- Reports — Presents user activity in a variety of ways.
- Setup — Contains all global items like Saved and Generated Reports, and email templates.
Add and Remove Users (Admin only)
Add Users (Admin Only)
Some admin levels will only have access to send an enrollment key to their users so their users can create their own accounts. If you were sent an enrollment key, please forward the URL to your users.
Other admin levels allow admins to manually add their own users. To add a new user, admins need to navigate to Users Tab from the left side menu. From there, click add a new user on the right side menu.
Enter in the user details including their email address which will be their default username. You can create a password which will be temporary - they will be prompted to change it once they login for the first time.
Under the Account section, if no changes are made here the user will be a Learner (standard user) and take up one of your learner licenses. If you want to designate a user as an Admin, you can also toggle on Admin. Note, you can have users be Admins only without being a Learner and they will not take up a learner license. You can also have multiple Admins.
Click Save on the right hand side to save your changes and create the new user. They will be sent a Welcome email immediately.
Remove Users (Admin Only)
To remove a user and revoke their license, navigate to Users Tab from the left side menu and select the user from your user list.
When a user is selected, you will see a variety of Action options on the right hand side. Choose Edit User.
In the user's General section, scroll down to see the Active button. Toggle this to Inactive and click Save. This will remove the user and revoke their license.
Note:
Not all administrators have access to add users - only system administrators to Global eTraining and CADD Community can do the below. If admins don't have access to the below, add users by forwarding new learners the Enrollment Key or contacting support.
