Rules for User Roles and Workgroups
Sharing content between users in Authoring and TDS follows the TIDE user role hierarchy. This means users can share content with other users in the same role, as well as with any users below them in the TIDE hierarchy. Users cannot share content with users above them in the TIDE hierarchy except by sharing with a workgroup, which enables sharing across user roles.
Examples:
-
School Admins (SC) can share content with other School Admins and Teachers (TE) but cannot readily share content to District Admins (DC) above them in the TIDE user role hierarchy.
-
For an SC to share content with a DC, both the SC and DC could be members of a workgroup, allowing the SC to readily share content with the DC.
| The user roles below can share content with: | SC | DC | Workgroup | Institution (such as district or school) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SC (School Admin) | Yes | Only via workgroup or if the user has multiple roles | Yes | Only if all members added to workgroup |
| DC (District Admin) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
