External Parties Accessing Totara Learn

Hello

I am looking for some advice regarding best practice with regards to external parties accessing our LMS.  I have had a request from the business requesting that a third party have access to the LMS to be able to deliver training to the business.  The third party has recently been engaged by the business to deliver Telematics solutions and as part of that they must also create, deliver and maintain training of that solution.  To my knowledge they have no previous experience using Totara Learn.  

Do any of you have external parties (suppliers) accessing your LMS in this way?  I am going to talk to my Totara Learn Partner about this however I thought I would reach out to the community to get your ideas also.  

Many thanks

Carolyn

Hi Carolyn

I think it would be best to create a course category for the third party and assign users to roles to this category  to create and deliver courses (editing trainer role).

That way the third party staff would only be able to create and administer courses in this category.
