The diagram below shows all the human entities in an exercise:
there is only 1 facilitator role in Conducttr. Their job is to manage the exercise.
there can be multiple observers. Their job is to observe the training audience and report on their performance (although some facilitation privileges can be delegated to them too - see below)
there can be multiple adjudicators. Their job is to observe the evolution of the information space and actions/inaction of the training audience and determine how the information space should change (for example decide which PoL stack to run or actions of role-players)
there can be multiple role-players. Their job is to pretend to be a persona and communicate or affect the information environment so as to make the players feel the exercise is realistic.
there can be multiple players - sometimes called the "training audience" and they are the reason the exercise is taking place - to rehearse, exercise or train them.
In many exercises someone might perform multiple jobs - for example facilitator, observer and role-player.
In larger exercises there might be a dedicated team of observers and role-players.
In Conducttr the observer & adjudicator functions can be accomplished in either or both of the following ways:
via a privileged role allowing log in to the Facilitator Dashboard and Pulse
via the Virtual Desktop with special permissions
both
For observers that need use the special permissions like Checklist and AAR and have access to the facilitator dashboard and/or Pulse, they will need two log ins - one for the privileged observer role and one as a player with the special permissions assigned.
If a person needs the ability to see whole exercise in progress then in the Conducttr team table they will likely need to have the observer role. This role will grant them access to Pulse and the Review tab.
Some AAR capability is available in the Review tab.
Only the player role can be assigned special permissions. The relevant special permissions for observers & adjudicators will be:
After-Action Review (AAR)
Checklist
Spoof engagement
Change GPS location
