In order to to create a Tutoring session, you must first import tutors and students to your TutorKit site.
Only Administrators can add and manage users in TutorKit. When adding users, you are asked to select a Role for them, provide some basic information, and provide their email; the email is required as users will need it to sign in.
TutorKit Roles
You can add users to your TutorKit site in one of the following roles:
- Students, who can browse and attend tutoring sessions.
- Tutors, who can create, browse, and lead tutoring sessions, and create and manage Resources.
- Administrators, who can invite and manage all users, manage user Roles, create and manage Communities, browse and create tutoring sessions, create and manage Resources and Tags, and track tutoring session Reports.
Once you've added users to your TutorKit site, you can make changes to their Roles, including assigning them the role of Administrator, Tutor which combines the permissions of those two roles.
