Fun Facts An administrator will have two views of the LMS, an Administrative view and a Learner view. The administrative view is accessed by entering the domain of your LMS and adding /admin (ex. www.yourcompany.knowledgeanywhere.com/admin) From the Admin view: Create courses, learning paths, surveys, and group messages, add users, view and download reports, and more. A learner will not have access to the Administrative view. From the Learner view: Preview, take and register for courses, view transcript and certificates earned, and more. An administrator is eligible for first-tier support through our Help Center and can submit a support request through the Administrative view of the LMS located in the footer.
