# Assigning Lab Instance Viewing Permissions to Instructors

Many Organizations would like their instructors to be able to view lab instances or students’ results on exam labs. The instructor role does not give access to any Lab instances; however, you can give access through a supplemental role and Organization management. The role to be added is Supplemental – Lab Instance Viewing.

## Assigning Permissions to an Instructor Account

To add the role and organization management,

1. From Site Administration on the Users tile, select **Find Users**.
2. Search for and select the name of the user you want to update to open their User profile.
3. On their user account, select **Edit**.
4. Open the **Roles** tab, select the **Assign Roles** link, this opens the Role chooser dialog.
5. Input all or part of the role’s name, **Supplemental – Lab Instance Viewing**, then select **Search**.
6. **Select the role** from the search results and select **OK**.

Consider Organization Access Level

When choosing organization management only give access to the level you want that instructor to have visibility to lab instances. If you have multiple organizations in your hierarchy with parent and child organizations, giving access to an organization at a parent level also gives access to all the child or subordinate organizations under it; those organizations will be checked and read only if the parent is selected.

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.

A lab instance is the individual occurrence of a lab profile launch. Each lab instance is unique for each lab launch, and all details related to the lab launch are displayed on the lab instance.

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.
