A user is an individual who interacts with the platform, such as a student, instructor, or administrator. Each role has specific permissions and responsibilities, like accessing courses, managing content, or overseeing the system.
Performance is highly configurable and functions according to the requirements of individual users and groups of users. A user’s profile contains vital information that controls the experience on Performance, including accessibility to its many features.
A user requires a valid username and password in order to access Performance. Because many of Performance's functions include email communications automatically initiated with individual users, the username is always the user’s email address. This feature also ensures that no two users have the same username.
For this reason, it is essential that usernames always be kept up to date.
