Professionals

The Professionals area is where System administrators manage educational professionals across all Supplier organizations: browse and search professional accounts, assign Guest users to suppliers as professionals, update spoken languages and status, remove professionals when allowed, and review or cancel pending invitations platform-wide.

Accessing Professionals

  1. Sign in with a System administrator account.
  2. In the left sidebar, open the SUPPLIERS section.
  3. Click Professionals.

Page structure

The Professionals section has two tabs:

TabPurpose
ListDirectory of all professional accounts with search, sorting, and row actions
InvitationsPending and expired invitations to join a supplier as a Professional across all suppliers—you can cancel any invitation; Supplier admins send and resend invites

Use the tab bar below the Professionals heading to switch between them.


List tab

Use the Search field to find professionals by first name, last name, or email. Results update automatically as you type. If nothing matches, a “no results” message is shown.

Click ADD PROFESSIONAL above the table to open the Add professional side panel.

View professional (user profile)

View on the List tab opens Users → that person’s profile. Scroll to the Roles column on the right.

For each Professional affiliation (one block per supplier), the block shows status, languages, and two actions:

ButtonOpens
MANAGE CLASSROOMSClassrooms dialog for that supplier’s professional record
MANAGE COMPETENCECompetence dialog for that supplier’s professional record

The same buttons appear when you open the user from Users directly. Supplier administrators do not use this path—they use View on their own Professionals list, which does not include these management dialogs.


Manage classrooms

Click MANAGE CLASSROOMS to open the Classrooms dialog.

The header explains that the default classroom is used as the default for that professional’s events. If none exist yet, you see No classrooms are created yet. and a note that you can create up to 5 classrooms using CREATE CLASSROOM.

Add a classroom

  1. Click CREATE CLASSROOM (disabled when the professional already has five classrooms).
  2. In Add classroom, enter:
    • Title — display name for the classroom (required).
    • URL — valid link to the meeting or learning space (required).
  3. Click CREATE or CLOSE.

The new classroom appears in the list. The first classroom created becomes the default automatically.

Manage existing classrooms

When classrooms exist, each entry is shown under Default with a radio button:

ControlAction
Radio buttonSelect which classroom is default (saved immediately)
Classroom title (link)Opens the URL in a new tab
Link iconCopy the URL to the clipboard
Pencil iconOpen Edit classroom (change Title or URL, then UPDATE)
Delete iconRemove the classroom (not shown on the default classroom)

Click CLOSE at the bottom of the Classrooms dialog to return to the user profile.


Manage competence

Click MANAGE COMPETENCE to open the Competence dialog.

Competence defines which subjects and subject areas the professional is qualified for. Service administrators use this when matching professionals to applications. If none is configured, you see No competence is added.

Add competence

  1. Click ADD COMPETENCE.
  2. In Add competence, choose a Subject from the dropdown (subjects already fully assigned to this professional are not listed). Options show the subject name and code, for example Administration - ADI.
  3. When the subject has subject areas, select one or more checkboxes (for example Administration 1, Administration 2). At least one subject area is required.
  4. Click CREATE or CLOSE.

If the chosen subject has no subject areas configured in Subjects, a message asks you to pick a subject that has areas.

Manage existing competence

Each assigned subject appears as a row with:

  • The subject name
  • Subject area chips listing the areas currently assigned
  • Edit (pencil) — opens a panel to change which subject areas are selected for that subject; click UPDATE to save (at least one area must remain selected)
  • Delete (trash) — removes all subject-area competence for that subject; you must type DELETE in the confirmation field to confirm

Click CLOSE at the bottom of the Competence dialog to return to the user profile.


Remove a professional

Remove soft-deletes the professional record. The user loses the Professional role for that supplier and is notified in-app and by email.

Removal is blocked when the professional has critical related data, including:

  • A confirmed professional invitation on an on-request application
  • Assignment to one or more course instances

In that case the dialog explains that removal is not allowed until those assignments are resolved.


Invitations tab

This tab lists professional invitations for all suppliers. System administrators can cancel any invitation (the pending invite is removed and the acceptance link no longer works). You cannot invite or resend from this screen—Supplier admins do that on their own ProfessionalsInvitations tab.
