Explained: The Certification Administrator role

The Certification administrator role enables the assignee to create and manage certifications and manage awarded certificates for users associated with their role assignment. A certification administrator can:

• View all certifications
• Create a new certification
• Delete a certification
• View certificates awarded for a particular certification
• Award a certificate to a user
• View the names and pass marks of all catalogue items (by viewing the items in the content item pickers when configuring a content item to either award or renew a certification). 

When viewing or awarding certificates, the users are limited based on the groups and/or organisational units associated with their role assignment. A certification administrator can see the list of all certifications; this list is not limited in any way. 

IMPORTANT: If you have defined certifications or catalogue items with names that reveal the identities of your customers (or other sensitive information) you should avoid delegating this role to an external (or otherwise unauthorised) administrator.
