Chapter 7. Setting up users

7.1. Central BELTS

7.3. Types of roles and assigning roles to users

The user management structure is hierarchical, with the responsibility for managing users distributed across multiple roles. The following diagram illustrates this structure and the user management functions that may be performed by each role.

User Management Structure

Figure 7.1. User Management Structure

The first step in user management is working out which users to set up. This is determined by the function of BELTS in the distribution chain, either as a central BELTS or as a school BELTS.

7.1. Central BELTS

When BELTS is used as a central system, it is used to import content from an upstream system (either The Le@rning Federation’s Exchange or an upstream BELTS) and distribute it to downstream BELTS systems. The following user roles will be required:

  • System administrator

  • Content manager

  • Dependent system
