Add and manage eLearning learners

Before you can give a user access to eLearning, they must have a Veracode user account. When you give a Veracode user access to eLearning, the user becomes a learner. If you need to create an account for a user, see create a user account.

Add a learner

To add a Veracode user as a learner in eLearning, add the eLearning role to their account.

To complete this task:

  1. In the Veracode Platform, from top-right corner, select the gear icon , and then select Admin. The Administration page opens.
  2. Select Users. You see a list of Veracode users.
  3. Select the user that you want to add as a learner. The Edit User page opens.
  4. Under Access Settings, select the eLearning user role.
  5. Select Save.

After you add the user as a learner, they can access the eLearning options from the Security Training menu in the Veracode Platform. Before the learner can access eLearning courses, you must assign them to a track.

View learner details

To complete this task:

  1. In the Veracode Platform, from top-right corner, select the gear icon , and then select Admin. The Administration page opens.
  2. Select eLearning. The learners are listed under All Learners.

You see the following information for each learner:

  • Learner: name of the learner
  • Course Accessed: if the learner has accessed one or more courses in the track, you see Yes. An eLearning seat is used only after the learner accesses courses from their assigned track. For more information, see Seat allocation and usage.
  • Track Assignment: the track to which the learner is assigned. A learner can be assigned to only one track.
  • Auto Extend?: indicates if auto extend is turned on for the learner.
  • Curriculum Name: the curricula assigned to the learner. A learner can be assigned to more than one curriculum.
  • Curriculum Due Date: the due dates of the curricula assigned to the learner.
  • Compliance Reset Period: the compliance reset period of the curricula assigned to the learner.

Manage learners

You can manage learners in the following ways:

Assign a track: depending on your eLearning subscription, your organization may have access to one or two tracks. You can assign a learner to only one of these tracks.

You cannot unassign a learner from a track during a subscription period. You must wait until the subscription period ends. Similarly, you cannot remove the eLearning role for learners who are assigned to tracks until the current subscription period expires. Veracode recommends that you do not unassign learners from tracks because the learner might want to continue to access information and results from past courses. If a learner leaves the organization, you can delete the corresponding user account to free the seat for other learners.

Turn off and turn on auto extend: when you assign a learner to a track, auto extend is turned on. You can turn off or turn on auto extend at any time for single or multiple learners.

Assign curricula: you can assign a learner one or more curricula developed from a track. Before assigning curricula, the corresponding track must be assigned to the learner. For example, if the curricula named 'Beginner' and 'Advanced' are developed from the track eLearning, the eLearning track must first be assigned to the learner before assigning the curricula 'Beginner' and 'Advanced'.

You can unassign and reassign a curriculum to a learner. Based on the curricula that you select for a learner, the corresponding Curriculum Due Date and Compliance Reset Period appear on the Learners tab to show the learning schedule of each learner.

Assign eLearning manager: you have the option to assign eLearning managers to your learners to track learners' progress and create metrics.
