Is setting up a role better for let's say, we have instructors that we wish to give access to workspaces as well as other audiences we have. The discussion has been what is easier, but ultimately what will be better even if it takes a bit more to create. Audiences are quick, but will it serve us ultimately? We have roles for client's supervisor/managers so that they alone can access reports, whereas the rest of their team is for learning only.

The instructors would want to be able to see clients they teach, be able to respond to questions, etc on their client's question's forum, etc.

Is there a document that clearly shows the advantages to one over the other, or something?
