User Groups

Assigning a user to a group allows you to mass assign a specific set of access levels and preferences for all members of a group.  Student Manager ships with 3 default groups:

  • ADMIN -  assigns level 6 access in all areas and allows users to edit preferences.  See the user record ‘ACE’ for an example of the ADMIN group settings.
  • REPORTS – assigns level 5 in reports and level 1 in all other areas.  Does NOT allow users to edit preferences.  See the user record ‘REPORT’ for an example of the REPORTS group settings.
  • REGISTER – assigns level 5 in reports and level 4 in all other areas.  Does allow users to edit preferences. See the user record ‘ROSIE’ for an example of the REGISTER group settings.

To create a new group in which to place a user:

  1. Enter the new Group name in the Group field.
  2. Press the TAB key.  You'll be asked if you want to create a new group.
  3. Click the Yes button.

This will save the new group and make it available to assign to user records.
