Instructors

The Instructors section allows admins to manage instructor profiles, which can be assigned to courses.
Instructors represent the creators or teachers responsible for delivering course content.

Instructor Management​

  • Adding Instructors – Create a new instructor profile with a name, avatar, and description.
  • Editing Instructors – Update details like name, description, or avatar at any time.
  • Deleting Instructors – Removing an instructor does not affect courses they were assigned to.
    • The instructor data is simply removed.
    • Any front-end logic should account for courses without instructors.
  • Searching – Users can search for instructors by name.
  • No Bulk Actions – Deletion and edits must be done one at a time.

Instructor API Data​

The instructor profile includes the following data fields:

  • Name
  • Avatar
  • Description

💡 This data is available through the API for use on the front end.
If an instructor is deleted, their data will no longer be available, so front-end implementations should account for missing instructor information.

Permissions​

  • Any admin can manage instructors (CourseLayer currently has a single admin role).
  • There are no additional role-based restrictions for instructor management.

💡 Note:

  • Instructors are not mandatory for courses.
    • If a course has no assigned instructor, it will still function normally.
    • Front-end implementations should handle the absence of instructor data appropriately.
