MyGo1 User Roles and Permissions defined

User roles and permissions control what learners, managers, and administrators can access in MyGo1.

Updated today

Note: This view applies only to the MyGo1 platform. Permissions in Go1 Learn currently differ, as some features have not yet been implemented for all roles.


Learning and development needs differ across roles and departments within an organization. Human Resources and Learning & Development teams require comprehensive oversight, line managers focus on their direct teams, and individual learners concentrate on their own learning objectives.

To meet these needs, the Go1 Platform offers various user role types, each with distinct permissions. Roles ensure that each user sees only what they need, allowing them to focus on the job at hand.

Users can hold one or multiple roles at the same time. Below is a detailed breakdown of major and minor roles, along with their respective capabilities.
