There are a couple of extra things that a Main facilitator can do that a facilitator can't. This article will cover how a person with manage permissions can create a main facilitator and also give an overview of the main facilitator role.
Overview of the difference between a Main facilitator and a facilitator
In addition to all the things a facilitator can do, a Main facilitator can manage their class.
From within the Class console, Main facilitators have the option to Add learners, facilitators, coaches and Edit dates.
Main facilitator's names (and bios) also show on the course Overview. See more info on How to use facilitator bios to introduce yourself to your learners.
How to give someone main facilitator permissions
As a person with manage permissions, when activating a class and adding your facilitators, you can toggle Main facilitators? to Yes.
How to become a Main facilitator as an author (with Class management enabled)
Another way that a person can become a Main facilitator is via the class management feature (enabled by account owners under iQualify settings).
If the Class management feature is enabled, when an author publishes a new tasks course for the first time, they will have the option to activate a class for this course and they will automatically be added as a Main facilitator.
