General Information

• Used to grant Administrative and User (staff) access to a Department in Ace.
• Should not be used to grant access to Instructors unless you want those instructors to have access to other instructor’s evaluation results.
• The Admin role has all the permissions as the User role except it may also manage users.
• If you are an Admin, you may also remove your own permissions, so be careful.
• Tip: If you don’t want the staff to make changes without being notified, first set them up as admins, have them set up the templates, then change their permissions to user. Otherwise you will get email notifications as they first get everything working properly.
