Understanding User Roles and Permissions

Each user in ITS has a role, such as a writer or a reviewer. Each role has an associated list of permissions to access certain features within ITS.

The user roles are configured according to the needs of each item bank. The number of roles, role names, and even the permissions associated with a role may vary from one item bank to another. For example, if a client practices an elaborate review process, the client’s item bank may be configured with a larger number of reviewer roles than other banks. The same user role may be referred to as “Preliminary Reviewer” in one bank, but “Initial Reviewer” in a different bank. And again, the same user role may have permissions to access a certain feature in ITS for one bank, but not for another.
