Track authors
Join forces.
Instruqt users with the owner or content creator role can edit tracks by default. But you can also give Instruqt users with the member role edit rights by assigning them as a track author. This is handy when you want to give an Instruqt user the edit right for some specific track or tracks, but not all.
You need to have the owner or content creator role for setting the track authors. Furthermore, if you want to set track authors with Instruqt CLI, you need to have their email addresses with which they are registered as team members.
You can set track authors from Instruqt CLI:
🌐 Web UI
💻 Instruqt CLI
- 1.
- 2.Click the track where you want to set track authors. ↳ The Track dashboard page opens.
- 3.Click the authors' avatars at the top of the page. ↳ The Authors pop-up opens.
- 4.Click Add author. ↳ Instruqt shows the Add author field.
- 5.In the Add author field, enter the member's name you want to add. ↳ When you start typing, a list with team members opens.
- 6.In the Authors list, select the wanted team member. ↳ The selected member is a track author now.
- 7.Click Close. ↳ The Authors pop-up closes.

developersproperty: - 3.Save the
