Task Authors and Co-authors

Home/Learning/Task management/Task Authors and Co-authors

The user who creates a task is automatically assigned as its Author. The Author has full access to manage the task: they can edit it, configure settings, assign users, view reports, and delete the task.
If needed, you can change the Author or add one or more Co-authors. Co-authors can also edit the task, configure its settings, assign users, and view reports, but they do not have permission to delete it

Please note! Only users with the permissions Manage tasks or Manage their own tasks can be assigned as an Author or Co-author of a task. For detailed information about permissions and roles in the system, see the article: Roles in the system.

To change the Author or add a Co-author, click the "plus" or "pencil" icon, after which a modal window for the corresponding actions will open.

Please note! If a user does not have the Manage tasks or Manage their own tasks, permissions, they will not appear in the dropdown list.

To add a Co-author, click the "Add Co-author" button, select a user from the dropdown list or use the search, and then click "Save".
Multiple co-authors can be added to a task.

A user assigned as a Co-author of a task can edit the corresponding learning content (resource, test, course, etc.) only if they are the Author or Co-author of that content and have management permissions. If they do not have such permissions, editing will be blocked, and the system will display a corresponding notification.
