Getting Started

This section introduces the Chamilo 2.0 administration interface and helps you get oriented.

Who Is an Administrator?

Chamilo has several levels of administrative roles:

Role	Access
Administrator	Full access to all administration features for the platform. Also known as Portal Administrator
Global Administrator	Same as Portal Administrator, with access across all access URLs in a multi-URL (multi-tenant) setup
Sessions Administrator	Can manage sessions, enroll users in sessions, and access session-related settings
Human Resources Manager	Can view learner progress and tracking data for assigned users
Questions Manager	Less of an administrator than a content curator, question managers have access to a global question bank to review questions' quality

This guide focuses primarily on the Portal Administrator role, which has the broadest access.

Logging In

Administrators log in through the same login page as all other users. After entering your credentials, you will be sent (in the absence of other configuration) to the Administration page. A notable difference from other user roles is the Administration section in the sidebar (not visible to other roles).
