Welcome to Loree Admin Dashboard
Glad! Managing Loree editor interface features via Loree Admin dashboard.
Navigation to Loree Admin Dashboard
Happy to help you to take a tour of the Loree Admin Dashboard!
For navigating into the Loree Admin Dashboard,
We need to create a Loree-admin in institutional roles. (Role name: Loree-admin, Role id: LOREEADMIN )
Then assign it to the user as a secondary institutional role, who needs Loree admin access.
For these above steps, we need to add the LTI tool parameter. Add these parameters in tool provider custom parameters: admin_role=@X@user.secondary_institution_role@X@Steps to Add parameter:
BB Admin page -> LTI Tool provider -> Edit Loree -> Add Tool Provider Custom Parameters.
Once, the user is added to the Loree-Admin role, the user can see the Admin button in the top right corner of the Modules page of the Loree LTI in the Blackboard. By clicking the Admin button, the user can manage the features of the Loree editor via the Loree Admin Dashboard. We have an organization limit on the admin dashboard. So we will be able to view only the status in the admin dashboard within the organization. This will keep the organization’s data protected.
To exit the Admin Dashboard we have to click on Exit Admin in the top right corner of the Admin Dashboard page.
Dashboard
After switching to the Admin dashboard you will see the first option as Dashboard. When you click on Dashboard you can view the dashboard details in total numbers.
Roles & Features
Once after switching to the Loree Admin Dashboard by clicking the Admin button, the user will be able to see the Roles & Features Accordions and their corresponding Tabs,
Loree Roles
Loree Roles will take care of the features for a particular role. By default, the Teacher and Designer Loree Role with all the features enabled will be created by Loree. In detail, when the Admin enables/disables features for a role say Teacher or Designer, or Create New Role (the admin can create a new role by clicking the Click New Role button in the right corner) say Role 1 or Role 2, these roles should be mapped with the Blackboard Roles (Course role of a user) to get the desired features in the Loree editor.
Note: The account admin of the Blackboard instance will get all Loree features by default.
Blackboard Roles
Blackboard Roles will fetch all the roles in the sub-account of the course that you have entered. And if you have entered a course that is not created under any sub-account then your Blackboard instance will show all the Root account roles and if the Admin switches to Sub-Account then it will fetch the roles in the particular Sub-Account. Once the Loree Roles are created by using the Loree default role, the Loree Roles should be mapped with the Blackboard role which is the role based on the particular course role(Blackboard course navigation → People → role assigned).
Note: ‘Select role’ (default - dropdown select) will not assign any features or roles.
If the Admin mapped the Loree roles for the 'Root Account' then it will reflect in all the Sub-Accounts and courses. Also, the Admin can map the Loree roles based on the Sub-Account in the Blackboard instance by clicking the Root Account button.
Select Root Account accordion for its Sub-Accounts,
The sub-Account list will be fetched and can select the desired Sub-Account which roles to be mapped,
Click the 'Fetch roles' button to fetch the subaccounts roles, and map the desired Loree roles.
If the admin has entered a course that is created under a sub-account then the admin will only have the access to update roles and features for the course he has selected based on the sub-account of the course.
For Example:
If we are working on a course present in a sub-account named Migration training we can only map the roles for the Migration training Sub-account or its child account (sample, sample-dep-03) as mentioned in the screenshot below.

Loree Interactive
Using this option Loree admin can manage interactives for all the users. Admin can edit the name of an interactive using the edit option or delete any unwanted interactives from the list. using the delete option.

Using this option Loree admin can manage Categories for all the users. Admin can edit the name of a Category using the edit option or delete any unwanted Categories from the list.
