Further functionality of the app is a module that allows an administrator to update competencies (including adding/deleting competencies and the content within), the groups/organisations on the app, administer admin users and generate reports. Admins access by logging in with a username and password. Administrative Users (email and password): PDF Admin Portal, Administer the app, manage job roles and content (Master Admin) and generate simple reports for Sectors or Organisations (Group Admin).
