# Creating Admin User Accounts

Organization-specific admin user accounts are responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of deliverable content for instructors and learners. This role encompasses the management of several key areas, including the creation of classes and courses, subscription oversight, key management, catalogs, and Learning Paths. Admins can create Users and have access to Roles related to Organization management, Company Management, and Course Credit. They play a crucial role in ensuring that the Training Management System runs smoothly and efficiently, providing support and guidance to both instructors and learners.

An organization is assigned to each entity in the TMS, such as, users, classes, subscriptions, and courses. The organization is a basis to determine access given based on roles within the organization and management over the organization.

People who interact with the platform. Typically, we can break down users into three categories: Operations Managers, Instructors and Basic Users..

Roles contain sets of permissions giving a user access within the platform.

Organization management sets the organizations a user with administrative roles can work within. All entities such as, users, courses, classes, subscriptions, have an organization assigned. An administrative user must have management of the organization to view and work with the entities.

On the user profile, management of one or more companies can be added giving the user limited permissions to view training those users who are in the company are scheduled to take and have completed.

On the user profile, course credit allows an administrator to add courses to a user which will then meet prerequisites requirements when they are set up on a course.

Organizations are the containers in which all objects in Skillable Studio reside. Each organization has two child orgs, Development and Production. Development is used for content creation and testing. Production is used only for content that is ready for consumption. Organizations also provide one of the security boundaries within the Skillable Studio platform.
