Add or Edit Staff Groups
You can use the Staff Groups page to add and edit staff groups. Groups organize staff members into logical groups (for example, departments and job functions). For example, for all logical groups you can specify workspaces, default password profiles, and designate the group as a group of advisors.
The staff groups you specify here can then be selected for staff members on the Staff Members tab on the same page.
For instructors and admissions representatives, you can also define templates that contain specialized permissions. You can then use the templates to quickly add and manage them. When a staff member is added to the group, they inherit the permissions in the template so that you do not have to specify them individually.
For instructors, you can also select their attributes when you add them on the Staff Members tab.
The list contains system defined staff groups (such as a group for instructors, administrators, advisors, and staff groups required for other product components like Portal).
