The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Every user in Mastery Connect is assigned a standard role. A Mastery Connect standard role enables a set of default capabilities for users who are assigned that role. Additionally, most users can be given one additive permission role on top of their existing standard role. Learn more about how to assign users standard and additive permission roles. View each role's default permissions below.
