Assigning Multiple User Groups
As necessary, multiple user groups can be applied to a single user.
For example, a staff member may manage enrollments and have attendance-related duties. He/she could also belong to both census and behavior user groups.
User group rights are cumulative; that is, they build on each other.
This means: if a user has R(ead) rights to the Behavior module as part of his/her membership in a census group and R, W, A and D rights to the Behavior module as part of his/her membership in a behavior referral group, that user will have R, W, A and D rights to the Behavior module.
Modifying User Groups
Location: User Management > User Groups > Calendar Rights,Tool Rights
Modifying user groups may be done as necessary. However, users assigned individual rights may also need to be modified.
Only users with a Student Information System (SIS) product security role are allowed to modify user groups. For more information, please see the Product Security Roles in a Single-Product Environment article.
Creating Multiple Accounts for One User
A user may have multiple accounts as necessary. For example, the district system administrator and his/her backup may have an administrator account with rights to all tools and calendars and a separate account with restricted rights.
See this document for step-by-step instructions on adding a user account for a person.
