Predefined roles

There are four default roles in the system:

1. Administrator – A role with all permissions in the system that can fully access and manage all application modules.
2. Instructor – A role with higher-level permissions than a regular user, instructors can manage their groups, question pools, tests, and reports, while only preview the content not managed by them.
3. Student – A basic user that can take assigned tests, surveys, and training courses, and view/print personal certificates.
4. Proctor – Proctors can monitor candidate progress on tests and supervise them in real-time.
