So I've been dabbling, trying to figure out how to accomplish what I need done with Drupal instead of Wordpress, but I've run into a decent number of snags, I'll just explain what I want to do.

It'll be an intranet for employees to access it, take knowledge tests, keeping track of each account's files and test scores as well as position and salary.

I also need to be able to give sub-admin accounts with the ability to create employee accounts, upload data to their accounts, and delete them.

I'm not a dev, so I'm not exactly the most experienced on this subject, I'll also want to have a plugin for docu-sign (or something of that sort) to plug into each user's account.

We go through 1 employee a week (Restaurant business) and we'd need an easy to use design for managers.

This isn't THAT time sensitive, thanks!

What "snags" did you encounter?

I can find a lot of modules that do part of what I need, but I don't really know how to get them all to work well together, and I tried to find tutorials but what I'm trying to do seems too specific.

Learning something like Drupal is like learning a musical instrument ...

You'll want to setup a test Drupal site, install and configure relevant modules, work with them, learn first hand what they are capable of, try to accomplish what you need, and then make some assessments.

You've got to pick up the instrument and play, in order to learn how to play it.

A single youtube video on a Drupal development/web-building topic surely isn't going to implement your specific functionality needs, but will likely teach you about some aspect of what you need to know.

Drupal is extremely powerful, but it cannot be learned by osmosis ...

Of course you can't learn all through osmosis, but I'm able to learn decently well. I played Violin for 7 years and picked up the Piano by watching a relative play. But what I'm looking for is more specific how to's on individual setups.

knowledge tests - needs fleshing out. Are these multiple choice? fill in the blank? a mixture? you'll need to determine where the quiz module is at in D8 development. If no D8 modules suit the purpose you will need to rethink D8 and perhaps step back to D7.

tracking position and salary - Seems to me you should be able to do this with cure user accounts. Add the fields you need to the user account.

sub accounts = create a manager role and provide proper permissions to created role

for some of what you need you will likely require some glue code. As you aren't a dev this project is likely best served by being farmed out to someone who is a developer.

You might get a better responses if you break you request into components. Example:

  1. I need 3 different user account types, Waitron, Manager & Admin. What is the best way to do this?
  2. Waitrons should be able to see certain content only. How can I restrict their access to the relevant content?
  3. Managers should able to add users with Waitron permissions, but should not be able to administer the entire Drupal system. Is there a contrib module that does this or it there another way?
  4. etc...

In the meantime maybe check out the Group module (and related modules), Personas module, Profile module, Multiple Registration module, Rules module, Webform module, and get to grips with Views.
