After it is enabled, the Instructor Dashboard is automatically associated with the Teacher Role in the LMS System. Instructors do not need a separate IntelliBoard account to utilize the Instructor Dashboard. IntelliBoard Admins must set up Instructor Dashboards.

From plugin settings, scroll to the Dashboard filters header. Then scroll to Teacher roles. Choose the roles you want to have access to the Instructor Dashboard. Click "Save changes" in your LMS system.
If you are using custom roles, please also ensure the custom role has the ability to view IntelliBoard in the role permissions. Additionally, the Teacher role must be enabled at the course-level instead of the system-level. Also, the custom role must also be selected in the settings above. To check the Permissions, please click through the following: Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define Rolesand ensure any custom teacher roles have IntelliBoard [Instructor] set to “allow” (image below; 'Teacher' will be replaced by your custom role name).
