In the users page, you can add users registered in the system. You can add these users to sessions by selecting them individually or add them to groups to include them in sessions through groups. When users log into their accounts, they can view and join the sessions they are attached to, both past and future ones, as well as those scheduled for today.

Administrative users who can log into the system can view the following pages on the panel: home page, sessions (details, participants, files, and reports), flows, users, files, groups, reports, activities, billings and settings. They have full system access and can create sessions, add users to sessions, create and schedule course flows, add new users in administrator, instructor or student roles, upload files for personal or shared use, create user groups for bulk user additions to sessions, view reports for all sessions, add questions for personal or shared use in the activities page, process invoices and view and edit general information, default interface settings, email templates, usage quotas, default system logos and system settings in the settings page. They can use virtual classroom sessions with full privileges.
