      InSpace Roles and Permissions

      Learn about the InSpace roles and permissions in our app and the InSpace Classroom LTI for Learning Management Systems

      InSpace offers a dashboard-based platform for all of our subscribers and an optional Learning Management System (LMS) integration. Read on to understand the available roles and permissions. 

      Please note that at the time of writing, InSpace does not support provisioning of roles. Individual users create their accounts by entering our platform via the Dashboard or the LMS.
