The System Preferences module contains a variety of tools primarily used by system administrators to perform functions such as selecting how various options in Campus function (student numbers, enrollment behaviors, etc.). Grade reporting related tools might also be used by curriculum managers to perform tasks such as defining different types of report cards and the comments teachers can use when reporting grades.
To learn more about these tools and how they are used, see the articles in the System Preferences category.

Suggested User Groups
Typically, users of this tool have already been assigned one or more Product Security Roles that grant administrative-level access; therefore, a user group assignment is not necessary.
If your district's needs are different, you may choose to create a group that meets those needs.
See User Groups and Suggested Roles for more information.
