Understanding User Access Levels

Nectir AI has two levels of user access, each serving different organizational purposes:

Workspace Access

Institution-wide access to your entire Nectir AI workspace. Users can see and access content based on their workspace role and Group memberships.

Group Access

Specific access to individual Groups (courses, projects, etc.). Users only see content within the Groups they’ve been invited to.

Three Ways to Provide Access

Choose the method that best fits your institution’s needs:

Workspace-Level Invitations

Only Workspace Owners can invite users to the workspace.

Managing Workspace Users

Group-Level Invitations

How Groups Become Shared

When you invite users to a Group, it automatically changes from “Private” to “Shared”:

Private

Only you have access to the Group/Assistant

Shared

At least one other person has been invited to the Group (either manually or via roster sync)

Shared with Everyone

All Workspace users can view and interact with the Group/Assistant
Note: Workspace Owners can view the usage of every Assistant in the workspace via Workspace Analytics, including Private Assistants, but cannot interact with or modify them.

LTI Integration - Automatic Access

For institutions using LMS integration, users automatically gain access when they click through from your LMS - no manual invitations required.
Benefits of LTI Integration:
  • No manual invitations needed - Users are automatically provisioned when accessing through your LMS
  • Seamless experience - Students and educators access Nectir directly from their LMS
  • Automatic role mapping - LMS roles (Student, Instructor, TA, Admin) automatically map to appropriate Nectir permissions
  • Consistent permissions - Maintains alignment between your LMS and Nectir roles

How LTI Integration Works

  1. Setup Integration: Your institution configures LTI integration with your LMS
  2. Configure Role Mapping: Map LMS roles to Nectir roles (one-time setup)
  3. Educators Enable Access: Instructors add Nectir to their course pages
  4. Automatic Provisioning: Users are automatically created with appropriate permissions when they access Nectir through the LMS
For detailed LTI setup instructions, find your specific LMS in the sidebar under LMS Integrations for more information.
