Role Selection​

Your role is assigned by your organization's administrator based on your position and responsibilities. You cannot change your role independently.

For more information about specific role capabilities, see the Designer Guide, Instructor Guide, or contact your administrator.

If you hold more than one role​

Since 16 October 2026 a person's roles add up. If you hold more than one role (for example an instructor role and a CCI or SFI role), you get every feature that any of your roles allows, on the iPad and on the web admin. People with one role see no change.

From Instructor 1.47 your organisation can also hide single pilot profile tabs (Progress, Stats, Assignments, Certificates, Expiries, Grading Reports) and single Company Settings sections for a role. The General tab always shows. If a tab or section you need is missing, ask your organisation administrator to check Feature Access in the web admin.

See Feature Access: roles that add up and iPad switches for the details.
