Axis LMS Manager Admins

You can change a user's role from Learner to Manager by selecting the user from the Manage Users area, then clicking on the Role & Topology icon. Click on the Role tab, and then choose either Learner or Manager.

Whether your user is a Learner or a Manager, they can still be assigned to a manager. Both roles will report to their assigned manager, but lower level managers can have users of their own below them. To assign your users a manager, you'll need to have at least one user with the role of Manage.
Below is a top level manager for the system, as seen from the Topology Path layout. You can see all the managers immediately under him.

Managers only have access to the tabs and abilities you permit them. Also, they can only pass these permissions down to managers below them - if a manager does not have access to a tab, they cannot give that access to a manager below them.
