How do I create user roles within AccuCampus?
This article explains how to create user roles within AccuCampus. AccuCampus allows institutions to create unlimited roles with approximately 300 individual permissions that can be assigned to a given role. To learn more about the individual permissions and what they control, see the Permissions Table within AccuCampus.
WARNING: The ability to create user roles is based on an individual user's permissions within the system. We recommend that only high-level administrators be given this permission in order to maintain the integrity of the system.
1. From the Main Sidebar, hover over Advanced Options.
2. Click Settings.
3. Click User Roles.
4. Click Create New.
5. Enter a Title for the role. We recommend that
you use a unique and specific name so that the role can be identified by other
users.
6. Enter a Description for the role. We recommend
that you use a unique and specific name so that the role can be identified by
other users.
7. Enter Access to View Roles. These are roles that this role will
be able to view within the system. Access to View Roles also grants the role the
ability to view the users with that role.
8. Enter Access to Edit Roles. These are roles that this role will
be able to edit within the system.
9. Use the Features Policy to determine which features the role will have access to. The features contained in this
section are packs of permissions and are meant as an easy way for administrators
to assign groups of permissions to a role. Users should be mindful of all of
the permissions associated with each pack. We recommend using this feature as a
starting point and then refine further using the Actions Policy.
10. Refine the role's permissions using the Actions Policy. This feature allows administrators

Features Policy.
