The Student role represents the base level of user access rights in LatitudeLearning. Every user in the system is assigned the Student role, allowing them to log in and get training.

In fact, learners are the vast majority of LMS users, responsible for consuming training materials and completing assignments. While the student experience is very customizable, they can usually search both Course and Resource catalogs, enroll in and launch courses they are eligible to take, as well as view the Training Calendar to register for live training events. Students can check their training schedule at-a-glance from the Courses to Complete page, tackle certification objectives from the Skills page, and print Certificates of Completion from their Training History .

Student Profile Setup

1. ORGANIZATION – Users function within a specific level of your organization structure: Company, Business Unit, Division or Location. By default, all new accounts are created with a Location-level profile, ensuring that login and transcript activity are easily recorded and reported in the LMS. Adding profiles at organizations higher in the hierarchy will grant a user access to data in all subordinate units of that structure.
2. POSITION – A user’s Position Code represents their job or title. LatitudeLearning uses Position codes not only to categorize students, but also to assign training Goals, determine Department membership, and even customize the user experience. Their place in the hierarchy of position code relationships will determine a user's ability to manage others, regardless of Role assignment.
3. ROLE – Roles are used to define the functions a user can perform in LatitudeLearning. While the LMS Reporting Hierarchy determines a manager's team members, Role assignment controls which tools a user can access based on their training responsibilities.

The Add User process generates a student profile at their Primary Location. From there, a Portal Administrator can assign additional Organizations, Positions, and Roles that grant access to additional user management and training administration tools.
