Associations & Organisations

An Association is the core organisational unit in LEAST. Every course, collection, and piece of content belongs to an association. There are three association types:

1. Navigate to Admin → Associations → Create
2. Choose the type, enter a name and description
3. The creator automatically becomes the association owner with full permissions

1. Open the association → Members tab
2. Invite by email — sends an invitation; the user must accept before becoming active
3. Add directly — immediately adds an existing user (admin only)
4. Set the member's role label (e.g. “Teacher”, “Manager”) — this is a display label, not a permission

Member statuses:

• An Organisation typically contains multiple classes and collections. It has organisation-level permissions (update details, manage members, manage permissions).
• A Class is an educator-led sub-unit focused on learners. It has education-level permissions (class list, roll call, course management, noticeboard).

The association creator always retains full access as a safety net. To transfer administration, grant the new administrator all required permissions via Permissions — they will have equivalent access even though the creator retains theirs.

Associations with content (collections, lessons, members) cannot be deleted directly. Archive the association by removing all active members and marking it inactive. Contact a Level 3 admin to perform a full deletion.
