Multiple mode, allows fine-tuning permissions, permissions have to be set individually for Self Based Courses, Blended Courses, Learning Plan, & E-Material creation, sharing, and moderation. For example, you can allow all users to create courses, but restrict Learning Plan to HR Managers (in addition to default using the multiple mode).

By default, the Administrators can create courses, however if you would like to authorize other users, such as Trainers, or Team leads, you can do so by clicking the Add button

You can also control sharing of courses, and moderation authorization. If moderation permission is set at Required then, The course trainer or Admin must approve the moderation request before it can be published.
