Summary:

System administration involves a variety of tasks, some of which are completed by PeopleFluent staff before the LMS goes live, while others can be completed by LMS administrator users as required.

System administration involves:

• Configuring the LMS to behave in a certain way, through the system configuration settings
• Exposing the appropriate features to different types of user, through system roles
• Configuring the user interface
• Reporting on database and application performance and usage

Most system administration tasks are listed in the System menu in the Manage Center, although system administrators may also be responsible for configuring communication features in the Communicate menu.

A user with the System Administrator system role has all of the privileges required for all system administration tasks. The role has unrestricted access permission for all objects in the LMS, bypassing the permission settings that apply to all other system roles.

About System Configuration

The system configuration settings for the LMS determine much of its behavior, and the features available to learners, instructors and administrators.

Related settings are grouped into Categories. There are 20 categories associated with different functional areas of the LMS. For example, all system configuration settings for online payments are located in the Online Payments category.

When you open the System Configuration page, all settings are shown, and you can press Ctrl+F to search for settings. You can also filter the list of system configuration settings by category to make them easier to browse.

Administrators with unrestricted access to the System Configuration feature in System Roles (Manage Features > System Administration) can view and update the system configuration settings.

To view and update System Configuration settings, go to Manage Center > System > System Configuration.

Update System Configuration Settings

System Configuration settings are grouped into a number of different categories, which you can view by selecting them from the Category drop-down list.

System administrators and users with unrestricted access to the System Configuration feature in System Roles (Manage Features > System Administration) can update System Configuration settings.
