In every Litmos account there are 4 access levels of permission available, with Learner having the lowest level of access and Account Owner having the highest. Every person in a Litmos account has the ability to complete training courses from a Learner perspective.

• Learner
• Team Leader/ Team Admin
• Administrator
• Account Owner

Note:  There are no limits to the number of users that can be assigned to any given access level.

By default all new people that you add to your Litmos account have the Learner access level.

• Learners only have access to the training that is assigned to them or is listed in the Course Library.
