Assign System User Role Action

Assign System User Role Action

OVERVIEW

The "Assign System User Role" assigns a system role to an existing user in your Pluto LMS based on information provided in the trigger.

The system roles that can be assigned are:
  1. Site Admin: This user role can manage site wide settings, administration, create courses, edit all content and can assign roles.
  2. Course Creator: This role cannot alter any site administration, but only create courses. This role cannot edit courses not created by themselves.

SETTING UP AN "ASSIGN SYSTEM USER ROLE" ACTION

Step 1: Set up your trigger, e.g. "New Row in Microsoft Excel."



Note: The trigger may need to provide the User ID of the existing user to which your zap must assign a system role and the Role ID of that role. If your trigger does not provide this information, you may need to add and additional action step before the "Assign System User Role" action, e.g. "Search User" in your Pluto LMS. 
  1. See this support document to learn where to find User and Role IDs.

Step 2: Select (1) Pluto LMS as your action app and (2) "Assign System User Role" as your action event, then (3) choose your connected Pluto LMS account from the drop-down list. 



See the Pluto LMS support document on setting up actions for more help.

Step 3: To set up your action, (1) select the corresponding field from your trigger data source (or from a previous step) that will provide the User ID of the existing user/s in your Pluto LMS and (2) manually enter the Role ID of the system role that your zap must assign to these users.  

Note: For a more dynamic zap (that can assign a variety of system roles to existing users) you can select the corresponding field from your trigger data source that will provide the Role ID of the system role that your zap must assign to users. 



You can now scroll down and click on "Continue" to proceed to test your action and switch on your zap or add additional action steps.
