Adding a new administrator

"How do I add administrators?" is a question we're asked frequently. Here is a step-by-step walkthrough on adding more hands on deck.

Step 1 - getting to the "Add Administrator" page

Go to the Configuration page and click on "Add administrator" (marked in red below).

If you don't see "Configuration" in the left-hand menu, you don't have the necessary permissions to add an administrator. You should contact someone in your Careers Service who does.

Step 2 - Filling in admin information

This step is quite straightforward. Fill in the administrator's details accordingly.

Step 3 - Applying the appropriate roles

Depending on the new administrator's duties, apply the most appropriate roles here. The role names usually reflect the administrator's role. The roles give the administrator a set of permissions, which are pre-determined in the "Roles" section (within configuration)

Step 4 - Setting up a staff profile

Staff profiles are displayed on the student console and within the appointments component. Students and employers can potentially view the staff profiles that are set up in this section.

Click "Save" (marked in red above) once you're happy with the information you've entered.

    Hi Jackie, Yes, you can add an administrator to a work group. Just follow these steps from the admin console:-
    1) Click workgroups and select the workgroup you want to add an administrator to.
    2) On the top left of the workgroup page(Members) click on "(x) Administrators"(x being the number of administrators already attached to the workgroup)
    3) Type in the first couple letters of the administrator's name and wait for text box auto-complete to find the administrator you would like to add

    NOTE: When you add an administrator to a workgroup, their attached student account is automatically attached to the workgroup as well.
