Custom roles and permissions - CYPHER Live

Presented by CYPHER Learning

Wednesday, November 26, 2025ยท9:00 AMPast Event

This CYPHER Learning webinar on custom roles and permissions addresses a critical aspect of learning management system (LMS) administration that directly impacts how effectively schools and organisations can manage their digital learning environments. As institutions scale their use of online and blended learning platforms, the ability to create tailored user roles โ€” with precisely calibrated access levels and permissions โ€” becomes essential for maintaining security, streamlining workflows, and ensuring that teachers, administrators, students, and support staff each see exactly what they need. CYPHER Learning, the company behind the NEO LMS (for K-12 and higher education) and MATRIX LMS (for corporate training), has built a reputation for creating intuitive, feature-rich learning platforms. This webinar walks participants through the practical steps of configuring custom roles within the platform, explaining how to set granular permissions that reflect your institution's organisational structure and governance needs. Attendees will learn how to move beyond default role configurations to create bespoke access hierarchies that improve efficiency and reduce administrative burden.
