LETRS Course Manager Permissions
All course managers have access to the Manage menu in LETRS and can view participant progress, download participant progress reports, and view participant license status. A course manager’s permission type determines the additional tasks they can perform.
Only Owners can change course manager permissions. Descriptions of each permission type are displayed on the Course ManagerPermissions page under the Manage menu in LETRS.

License Managers
License Managers can assign and unassign licenses and edit participants.
While they can view cohort overviews, License Managers cannot create, edit, or delete cohorts.
License Managers cannot assign course manager permissions.
Cohort Managers
Cohort Managers can create, rename, and delete cohorts, and change cohort membership.
While they can view participant license information, Cohort Managers cannot perform any tasks on the Manage Licenses page.
Cohort Managers cannot assign course manager permissions.
View Only
The View Only permission type is assigned by default when adding new course managers.
View Only course managers can see all of the course manager pages and reports but cannot make any changes.
Course manager permissions alone do not grant access to LETRS course content, however, course managers can be assigned a participant license so that they can also access LETRS course content.
See Assign Licenses for LETRS to assign a participant license to a course manager.
