IntelliBoard's Permit feature allows you, the IntelliBoard Admin (main subscriber), to give certain people credentialed access to IntelliBoard.net where they will have permission to review certain data sets within certain reports.
An automated, step-by-step guide can be found inside IntelliBoard.net. Click "Self Help" (orange button) from your Homepage and then click "Creating Organizational Roles [SETTINGS]".
Before you get started...
- Permit functionality begins with a Level 5 IntelliBoard subscription; please review access and number of accounts here.
- Permit, managed by the IntelliBoard Admin, consists of two components: 1) Organizational Role (Template of Reports) and 2) SubAccount/IB user (Credentialed Access and Data Set Permissions).
- You must create an Organizational Role BEFORE creating a SubAccount/IB user.
- Details on SubAccounts/IB users (Part 2 of Permit) may be found here.
What is an Organizational Role?
As the first component of Permit and designed by the IntelliBoard Admin, an Organizational Role is a template of reports and monitors designed for a specific type of group/role of people within an organization. An Organizational Role is then assigned to a SubAccount/IB user (credentialed account for an individual person).
For example, District Managers may need reports and monitors related to course enrollments, revenue and completion. Educational Deans may need reports and monitors related to learner progress and instructor performance. District Manager and Educational Dean are both Organizational Roles.
Important Notes:
- The same Organizational Role can be assigned to different SubAccounts/IB users.
- The Organizational Role template can be futher edited for a specific SubAccount/IB user.
- While an Organizational Role may be the same as a Blackboard Learn role, the two are not connected.
What is the difference between an Organizational Role and SubAccount/IB user?
The Organizational Role is a type of role; the SubAccount/IB user is an actual person. The Organizational Role is a template of reports; the SubAccount/IB user is the specific credentialed account for IntelliBoard. The Organizational Role is assigned to a specific SubAccount/IB user.
For example, Dean Jane Smith is a specific SubAccount/IB user, who has the Organizational Role of Educational Dean. Dean Harold Jones is a specific SubAccount/IB user, who also has the Organizational Role of Educational Dean.

Additional Details on Monitors for Organizational Roles:
