Adding a Course Admin

If you need others to help you manage your courses and users, it’s pretty straightforward to get them set up!

Important to Know

1. Course admins need to have their own Teachery account but they don’t need to be on a paid plan. When you invite them, they will be redirected to a login (where an account can be created too).

2. Courses are not transferrable so if you’re an admin and creating courses from scratch, ensure you’re “impersonating” the primary/creator account before you begin.

If you saw that second point too late, no worries, you’ll just need to complete some additional steps: You can convert your course to a theme and then manually add the primary/creator account as a “customer” so that when you (the course admin) impersonate that primary/creator account, you can then create a course from that theme (it will be available under “Purchased Themes” in the Teach page).

How to Add an Admin

To add collaborators, navigate to the Course Admin section of your Accounts page.

1. Insert the admin’s email address in the provided field and click the Set Permissions & Invite button.

2. In the popup that appears, set the admin’s permissions and define which course(s) to grant access too (leave that field blank for access to all courses).

3. Click the Send button when you’re ready. The admin will receive an email and follow the prompts to create an account and accept the invite.

The admin will now appear in your Admins block with an Invite Sent status (which will switch to Active once the admin has accepted your invite).

Signing in as an Admin

It’s super simple to switch between accounts:

1. You need to log into your own Teachery account with your own credentials and then visit the Course Admin section of your Accounts page.

2. In the Accounts Shared With You block, you need to click the email address of the user you want to impersonate/”switch to”. That will essentially log you in as that user and enable you to make changes in their account.

You can switch back to your own account at any time by clicking the Switch to personal account button that’s always available to you at the top of your screen.
