Create Groups

You can create groups within an organization to specify menu security for roles.

By default, all roles created with the initial set up of the district site are included in the organization's Faculty group.

Any new role groups created after the initial district site set up are not automatically linked to the Faculty group. Create a support ticket to link new groups to the Faculty group.

Create a New Group

1. Choose Admin from the main navigation menu, then choose New Group.
2. Enter the Group Name and Group Description using the naming convention defined by your school district. Select Public if you want this group to be available to other, trusted organizations.
3. Use the search to find and display users, roles, or groups.
4. Click ADD to include a search row to the Members list.
5. Repeat these steps as necessary to complete the Members list.
6. To remove a member, select any rows to delete, then click Delete Selected Members.
7. Click Save to create the group, then click Continue.
