Add or Edit General and Module Permissions for Staff
You can use the Specialized Permissions page to specify the general permissions for staff members.
If a staff member is a member of a group with a Parent Group of Instructor Group and Admissions Rep Group and the group was configured to be a template, they have the permissions specified for the group. When you display the permissions for the staff member, the permissions inherited from the group are not shown here. The page shows the default permissions instead.
You can also add instructors and admission representatives and specify their general permissions from more than one location in Anthology Student. If you accessed the page from Processes > Academic Records > Instructor Maintenance or Processes > Admissions > Admissions Representative Maintenance, only the General tab is displayed. On the tab, you can specify these values.
If you accessed this page from the Settings tile, you can also use the page to specify module specific permissions for staff members. From the Settings tile, the page also displays one tab for each module except for Contact Manager. (Contact Manager settings are on the Contact Manager tile instead.)
For example, you can specify whether or not the staff member can:
-
View the social security number for a student in the interface (General tab)
-
Transfer a student from one campus to another (Academic Records tab)
-
Edit disbursements when awarding and packaging financial aid (Financial Aid tab)
When you add permissions from the Settings tile, they are added to any permissions that the staff member might have for their groups.
