User Roles & Permissions
EduManage CMS follows a strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model to ensure data security and operational efficiency. There are three primary user roles: Administrator, Instructor, and Student.
The Administrator has full control over the platform's configuration and management.
- User Management: Add, edit, remove users; assign roles (Instructor, Student).
- Course Administration: Create, modify, or delete any course.
- System Monitoring: View live enrollment statistics, system activity feeds, and feedback reports.
- Data Tools: Access to the "Randomize All" instructor assignment tool for testing and data distribution.
Instructors manage their assigned courses and monitor student performance.
- Course Dashboard: View a specialized grid of all assigned courses with real-time student counts.
- Student Playlists: Access a full list of enrolled students for each of their courses.
- Resource Management: Update descriptions and content for their specific assigned courses.
Students are the primary users of the platform's learning features.
- Course Catalog: Browse the entire library with advanced filtering by category and year.
- One-Click Enrollment: Seamlessly join any active course.
- My Courses: A personalized dashboard showing progress, registered courses, and recommendations.
Permissions are enforced at the server level via the requireRole() function in config/session.php. Any attempt to access a restricted page without the required role results in an automatic redirection to the login portal.
