Co-Owners for Rise Courses
Hi all,
Is it possible to assign a co-owner to a course?
I'm interested in setting up Rise so that multiple team members can currently have permission to edit and export a course.
Thanks,
-Ben

The new release of features from Articulate is great.
The ability to have these different permissions such as owner, admins, and authors was a really well thought out solution for Rise.
Thank you!This new permissions feature in Rise is awesome. Just what we needed for our team!
Great question, Hibcoll! When you create a course, you are given the Owner role. You can invite someone to be an Admin collaborator on the course. Admins can do everything the course Owner can do, except transfer ownership and delete the course.
Follow these steps to add an Admin to your course:
- First, invite that person to be a collaborator on the course. Here's how.
- Once that person is assigned as a collaborator, you can change their role to "Admin" by following these steps.
Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
We would like to see this feature also, so am now following this conversation.
Hi, is there any update to this? I know you can add a collaborator - but it's the ability for multiple people to own and publish that's I really need. Is this something that is or will be available?
Thanks Sarah
Although not a "co-owner" you can assign the role of "Course manager" to multiple people that have Rise licenses (I'd assume on your team).
The Course manager role enables the ability to do exports/publish and pretty much do everything the owner can.Sarah take a look at this this thread that explains the role of a Course Manager: https://community.articulate.com/series/rise-360/articles/rise-360-work-on-a-course-with-other-team-members
Is there an update on this?
Hi Tabitha!
Have you seen the Course Manager collaborator role?
A Course Manager can do everything that a Course Owner can do, except edit labels, transfer ownership, and delete the course.
Hi, Tabitha - this doesn't appear to flow through to Review 360. From what we can tell, only the course owner can publish a new version of a course for review - anyone else can only publish it as a new item for review, which means it loses connection to all of the feedback/comments up to that point. For a truly effective workflow, we need multiple Rise users to be able to share all owner privileges. (editing labels, transferring and deleting are also inefficient if only one person can do all of them, but the review issue is our biggest issue, and somewhat embarassing to have to explain to our reviewers) If I'm missing anything, please let me know; much appreciated
Hi Jefrey,
Team members do have the option to publish to the same Review 360 item. You can learn more about this feature, which becomes available when a course published to Review 360 is shared with team members:
If you're encountering difficulties using the Team Folders feature, please make a quick Peek 360 recording of the issue and we'll be glad to take a look at what's happening.
Note that for labels, you can export a set and translate them using third-party apps like Trados and Smartcat to make them shareable with your teammates. Labels that have been translated using third-party apps can be shared across accounts.
Just found this thread as I would welcome this feature as well.
So, almost 3 years ago the response to this question was "We are tracking a request to allow publish rights to collaborators and it sounds like this is what you are looking for as well" but it would appear that this still hasn't happened??
Hi Sonia,
Collaborators with a Course Manager status can also publish courses in addition to the Course Owner.
