Set Access Levels and Roles

Destiny administrators and Site administrators can set Destiny access levels and Collections roles. Assigning appropriate access levels ensures that users have access to the features they need in Destiny.

In addition, roles determine what actions users can perform in Collections, such as the visibility options they can choose for displaying their collection.

Note: Collections roles are assigned to a Destiny access level. The following table matches the Destiny default access level to the Collections role. New access levels and existing custom levels default to the Student role.
