Author permissions and how to add an author to a course

An author is a person you add to a course so they can add, edit and preview its content. On the platform, an author is shown as a trainer.

Steps to add an author

1. From the Courses page in the dashboard, choose the course you want to add the author to, then click Edit Curriculum.

   

2. From the Trainers page in the course dashboard, click Add New Trainer.

   

3. Enter the author's Email and full Name, then click Add Trainer.

   

The author shows in the list, and you can remove them from it at any time: click the ⋯ (Actions) button at the end of their row, then click Remove from course.

An email is sent to the added address to tell them they were added as a trainer in the course, with a link to sign in to the platform.
