Seminar notifications: trainer vs facilitator
by Monica Hansen - Wednesday, 10 May 2023, 5:50 AM
 

Hi,


I recently came across the Seminar notification triggers (totara.help) article and was wondering what exactly is the difference between Facilitator and Trainer roles.


Some of the triggers seem to be quite similar and their definitions as well:

-Facilitator assigned/ Trainer assigned (Notifications can be triggered to send to facilitators/ trainers when they are assigned to a seminar event.)

- Facilitator sessions details changed/ Trainer sessions details changed (Notifications can be triggered to send to facilitators/ trainers or third-party email recipients when the details of their seminar sessions are updated.)

- Facilitator unassigned/ Trainer unassigned (Notifications can be triggered to send to facilitators/ trainers or third-party email recipients when the facilitator is unassigned from seminar events.).


Could you please help clarify?


Thank you!

Monica.

Hi Monica

I think the main difference is that the Trainer is a defined role that has permissions to manage a course such as view grades of all Activities

The Facilitator is not a defined role they are people who you want to access the seminar and receive notifications for admin purposes they may be external people
