Aliases

If you need to create or assign content using a different username, you can use an alias.

For example, if Sean, Isaac, and Erin all need to create content items on behalf of their company's L&D team, they can all select a single alias, such as "The L&D Team," so Learners see that the content is coming from a single source.

Your organization's primary alias (usually your company's name) is set in the Settings tab by a Super Admin, and it always appears first in the alias table. The primary alias can't be deleted, and it can't be edited from the alias table. 

How to create an Alias

If you're a Super Admin, here's how you can create a custom alias:

1. Select Settings.
2. Select the aliases tab.
3. Select the + icon.
4. Add a title and an avatar, and then select save.

How to use an Alias

When creating a content item or assigning content, the list of aliases you can select from is restricted to the following:

• All custom aliases created by Super Admins, including the primary alias.
• All users associated to your groups.

1. To create a content item using an alias, simply select the button when you're in the create or edit form for content items.

2. To assign a content item using an alias, select the button when you're in the assign form.
