What is Role-Based Learning?

Role-Based Learning is a Nimblr feature that automatically assigns security awareness courses based on each user's job function. Instead of giving everyone the same content, it matches training to the attacks most likely to target each role, such as invoice fraud aimed at finance teams or MFA reset scams aimed at IT helpdesk staff. It is included in the Base Package and runs with no configuration.

What's in it for you?

Training that matches real-world risk

Users in Finance, Executives, IT Helpdesk, IT Admins, HR, and DevOps get courses built around the exact attacks aimed at their role, not the generic content everyone else gets.

No admin setup needed

Role-Based Learning turns on automatically and needs no configuration, so your team gets more relevant training without any extra work.

Included at no extra cost

It ships in the Base Package, so there is no upgrade fee or add-on to unlock Role-Based Learning.

How does it work?

1. Two simple questions

At the end of a course, each user answers two short questions about their day-to-day work and responsibilities.

2. Mapped to real attacker behavior

Based on the answers, Nimblr automatically places each user into one or more of six role tracks.

3. Tracks assigned automatically

From that point on, training reflects the real attacks aimed at their role instead of general content.

4. Update anytime

Users can change their answers in the User Portal at any time, and admins can review or edit them too.

Key features

Six built-in role tracks

Coverage spans Finance, Executives, IT Helpdesk, IT Admins, HR and Payroll, and DevOps, the roles attackers target most.

25+ role-specific courses

Users get courses built around real attacks like invoice fraud, MFA reset scams, and credential theft, with more added regularly.

Multi-track assignment

Users with overlapping responsibilities, like a COO who also approves payments, get every relevant track automatically.

No duplicate training

When a role-based version of a course exists, it replaces the general version, so users never see the same topic twice.

On by default

Role-Based Learning runs automatically with nothing to turn on or configure.

User and admin control

Users can update their role answers in the User Portal whenever their responsibilities change, and admins can review or adjust assignments at any time.

Why role-based training works

Attackers do not target organizations evenly. They target the people with access to money, credentials, and systems. A finance controller sees invoice fraud attempts. An IT admin sees MFA fatigue attacks and credential theft. An HR coordinator sees fake job applications carrying malware. Generic training treats all of these users the same, which means the people carrying the most risk get the least relevant preparation.

Role-Based Learning closes that gap. By mapping each user to the attack patterns aimed at their actual responsibilities, training depth follows risk depth. High-risk roles get deeper, more specific content. Everyone else continues with the standard program, so no one is overloaded with material that does not apply to them.

Because assignment happens through two questions inside a course the user is already taking, there is no survey campaign to run, no HR data import to maintain, and no role mapping spreadsheet for admins to keep current. The system stays accurate because users update their own answers when their responsibilities change.

Role-Based Learning works alongside the rest of your security awareness training including simulations and micro-training. It does not replace your baseline program. It sharpens it where the risk is highest.

FAQ

What is Role-Based Learning?

It matches the depth of training to the depth of risk each role carries, so users get courses built around the threats most likely to target their job function.

How does it decide which track I get?

Nimblr asks two short questions at the end of a course and uses the answers to assign the right track automatically.

What questions does it ask?

What best describes your day-to-day work, and which responsibilities apply to you, like approving payments or having admin access to IT systems.

How many role tracks are there?

Six: Finance, Executives, IT Helpdesk, IT Admins, HR and Payroll, and DevOps.

Can I be assigned to more than one track?

Yes. If your answers point to risk in multiple areas, you get every relevant track and the most relevant courses.

Does this replace my regular training?

No. It complements it. Where a role-specific version of a course exists, it replaces the general one so you never get duplicate content.

Is there anything for admins to set up?

No. Role-Based Learning is on by default and needs no configuration.

Does this cost extra?

No. It is included in the Base Package at no additional cost.
