Manage Participant Access Levels
Virola's permission system is highly flexible, allowing you to define access rules at the workspace level, for specific user groups, or even for individual users.
Virola makes it easy to control who can do what - without adding complexity:
Student Accounts
Student accounts can be created with restricted permissions, such as no ability to create new chat rooms for example. Students can be added only to:
- Their class groups
- Private tutoring rooms with teachers
Teacher & Moderator
Teachers and moderators have elevated permissions, allowing them to manage chat rooms, control participants, and moderate discussions.
Guest Access
Guest users can join via a secure link and be placed into read-only channels, ideal for sharing announcements, schedules, or important updates without distractions, or into any other room or channel you choose.
Multiple Servers in One App
Virola is designed for educational organizations with complex structures:
Isolated Servers
Institutions can run multiple isolated Virola servers for different subdivisions, such as colleges or departments
Independent Hosting
Each server can be hosted independently
LDAP Access
LDAP integration allows users to access multiple Virola servers using their institution's Active Directory profiles without creating separate user accounts on each server
This ensures complete separation where required - for privacy, governance, or compliance.
At the same time, teachers who work across multiple colleges can seamlessly connect to all servers using a single Virola client app:
App Profiles
Use application profiles to store login credentials and chat history for each Virola server
Multi-Tab Access
Access each server in a separate tab within the same application
Per-Server Settings
Configure notifications and set status for each server
This makes cross-college teaching simple, secure, and frictionless - without mixing data or users between organizations.
