Site Owner & User Roles
There are different user roles in EzyCourse, each having their own levels of functionalities and accessibility. In this article, you will learn about the different user roles and how they function on your platform.
Just so you know, you can find the users on the EzyCourse dashboard under the All users menu.
Site Owner
The Site Owner sits at the top of the tree in terms of functionalities and accessibilities. In other words, they have full access to everything on the plan the platform is currently on. That includes the Website Builder, Course creation, Coaching Program, adding and managing other users, setting up payment integrations, editing site info, etc.
There is only one Site Owner no matter which plan you get.
Site Admin
Site Admin has virtually the same functionalities and accessibility as the Site Owner. There could be multiple Site Admins for one single EzyCourse account. The Site Owner can create Site Admins, and even an existing Site Admin can create new Site Admins too.
Although Site Admins have access to most functions, there are some limitations-
• They do not have access to the Due Payment menu, which is used to pay out revenue partners.
• They do not have access to change or edit the site info like site email address, password, etc.
• They cannot see the current plan or update the plan.
Teacher
A Teacher has access to most features related to courses and learning tools on the platform. They can:
• Create and edit their own courses
• Handle student submissions across all courses
• Access and manage platform services such as: appointments, events, audio/video library, group chat/private chat, etc.
However, there are important limitations to their access:
• They cannot access or manage coaching programs
• They cannot view/edit courses created by the Site Owner or Site Admin
• They only see awarded certificates related to their own courses
• They do not have access to all digital or physical products, communities, or live streams
• They cannot access platform-wide settings like: marketing tools, payment gateways, user management, site builder, etc.
Revenue Partner
A Revenue Partner is someone who earns a share of revenue from specific courses, products, or services as defined by the Site Owner or Site Admin when creating a revenue partner.
The following roles can be assigned as revenue partners:
• Teachers
• Developers
• Site Admins
Becoming a revenue partner does not change the user's permissions or access level. For example, a teacher who is also a revenue partner will still operate with teacher-level access but will receive the revenue share that has been set for them.
Developer
You, as the site owner or admin, have the flexibility of adding developers on your platform. Developers have access to all the settings related to the website. That includes using the EzyCourse Builder 2.0 to craft beautiful and eye-catching web pages.
Developers can also create and edit site menus, add custom CSS, global JS, third-party scripts, set site fonts, and the language of the website.
Apart from website building, they have no access to other options like courses, users, products, etc.
Affiliate User
You (Site Owner/Admin) can have your own affiliate program and create affiliate users on the platform. You can set the commission when creating a new affiliate user.
An affiliate user on the platform works as a referrer i.e. they refer your platform to others and earn their commission only when the referred user purchases something on your platform.
Affiliate users have their own dashboard where they can access the “affiliate dashboard”. The “affiliate dashboard” is where they find the referral link, see visitor stats, and view all the transactions.

Student
Students act as the main customers of your platform. They have access to view your website, and once logged in, they can purchase any product including Courses , Coaching, Communities, etc.
More accessibility given to students include-
• Student dashboard (where they can view order history, access their profile info, and manage pretty much everything)
• Products bought (details about purchased products like viewing Course lessons, accessing Community, etc.)
• Notifications
• Group/Private Chat (depends on whether they have bought or have the required access)
Role Manager
EzyCourse lets you create and manage your own set of custom user roles. You can set exact permissions for each custom user, allowing them to access only what you want them to access on your dashboard. This gives you full control over the users and how they access the features on your dashboard.
