Roles & grades
Roles control what each member can do. Grades control what content each member can see. Together they let you share the right knowledge with the right people.
The role hierarchy
C3NTR has six roles, arranged from most access to least:
- Super Admin — Platform-level access across all schools. Reserved for the C3NTR team.
- School Leader — Full control of the school: settings, billing, members, all content.
- School Admin — Can manage members, content, and settings. Cannot manage billing.
- Instructor — Can create and edit content. Cannot manage members or settings.
- Assistant Instructor — Can create content but with fewer publishing permissions.
- Student — Can read content, favourite items, and receive announcements.
Each role inherits the permissions of the roles below it. A School Leader can do everything an Instructor can do, and more.
Customise role labels
The default role names may not match your school's language. You can rename them to fit. For example, you might call "Instructor" a "Sifu" or "Coach" instead.
Go to Settings > Roles & Grades.
Under Role labels, tap any role to edit its display name.
Tap Save. The new label appears everywhere in the app for all members.
You can also reorder which roles appear first in lists, and disable roles that your school does not use. Disabled roles are hidden from the member picker.
Set up grades
Grades represent levels of progression in your school. They could be belt colours, year groups, skill levels, or anything that fits your discipline.
Go to Settings > Roles & Grades and scroll to the Grades section.
Tap Add grade. Enter a name (for example, "White Belt") and pick a colour.
Drag grades into order from lowest to highest. The order matters for content visibility.
You can change the word "Grade" to something else. Go to Settings > Roles & Grades > Grade terminology and enter your preferred term, such as "Level", "Belt", or "Year".
How grades control content
When you write an article or create a term, you can set a minimum grade level. Members below that grade will not see the content in their Explore tab or search results.
Members at or above the minimum grade can read the content as normal. This lets you reveal more advanced material as students progress.
If you do not set a grade on a piece of content, it is visible to everyone.
Disable grades
Not every school needs grades. If your school does not use levels or progression stages, you can turn grades off entirely in Settings > Roles & Grades. All content becomes visible to all members.
