When you create your own account for teaching with Pathwright, you're automatically set as the account owner and first admin. You can invite additional administrators anytime. The admin role provides full access to the account, including the ability to view and edit all courses, access the account-wide Community or member list, and access all account settings including billing settings.

What is as Administrator?

Administrators have full access to the Pathwright account where they hold the admin role. Admins are the only members of an account that can view and interact with the Account Dashboard, the Account Settings, and the account-wide Community.

To personally teach a Cohort, the admin should enroll himself in that Cohort as a teacher. This ensures that they receive notifications from the course and they are displayed to learners as the teacher.

💡 Tip: Your school will need to be activated on one of our pricing plans before you can invite others to join. Admins count as staff members on your billing plan. Learn more here.


How to invite someone to your account as an Administrator

Method 1: direct invitation

  • Open Community from your Dashboard or main menu.

  • From the Community screen, select the "Invite" button.

  • Enter the email address of each person you wish to invite as an Administrator.

  • Be sure to select the Administrator role before sending.

  • Optionally, add a personal message (recommended). Now, just hit the "Send Invites" button. Your people will receive their invitation in their inbox in moments.

Method 2: shareable link

  • Open Community from your Dashboard or main menu.

  • From the Community screen, select the "Invite" button.

  • Select "get a shareable link."

  • Be sure to select the Administrator role before sending.

  • Use the "Copy link" button to copy the link into your computer's clipboard.

Promote a current member to Administrator

To modify the privileges of an existing member, open "Community" from the Dashboard or main menu. Find the member, and click on the settings icon next to his name. Select "Make Administrator" to give the member account-wide editor privileges.


Remove an Administrator

To remove an Administrator from that role, open "Community" from the main menu. Find the member, and click on the settings icon next to their name. Select "Make member" to remove Admin access. The individual will retain access to any courses he or she is enrolled in, but will no longer have Admin privileges.

If you need to transfer ownership of your Pathwright account to another Admin, please contact us and provide the new owner's information so we can update our records.


Access email address

To email an Administrator, open "Community" from the Dashboard or main menu. Find the Administrator you wish to email and click or tap the additional actions icon (...) to the right. Click or tap on the email address to send an email to that individual. Right click or hold to copy the email address. To email multiple Administrators, you can download the Member Report and filter by role to get a list of all email addresses.
