System Access
ASCENT gives YOU full control of all access in multiple levels, and it’s unbelievably easy to manage.
Each user you enroll in the system has their own unique username and password. The Registrar of the system (someone you assign) can re-set passwords and control access level of each user.
Each user is assigned one or more roles:
-
- Student
- Coach
- Instructor
- Manager
- Examiner
- Learning Objects Drop Box
- Registrar
- Training Developer
The only ones you pay for are the Students – all the rest are free! (you do not need to buy an editing suite or pay extra for an administration module or anything like that).
Each Role gets the functions and data access they need, and nothing else. So, for example, an Instructor can see the marks for all students in his class, but not the marks for other classes he does not teach.

Course Access
Courses can be set as:
Self-Paced: Once course has been assigned, Student can take it whenever they want.
Scheduled: Set a beginning and ending date and time which the Student can access the course. Useful when a course is in conjunction with a live training event, for example.
Time Limited: Once the Student starts, they have a certain amount of time (weeks, days, hours, minutes). Particularly useful for exams.
Security
Every user must login with a correct username and password. User sessions (browsing) throughout the system are SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protected.
Network & Firewall Safe
ASCENT does not download any software or applets to any users computer. It is completely firewall safe.
User account data and files uploaded to the ‘Personal Documents’ and ‘Off-Line Training Tracking’ are encrypted.
On numerous occasions we have had client’s I.T. departments perform security and technology impact assessments on ASCENT. We’ve always passed with no issues ever raised.
