What are User Roles?
A User Role identifies what permissions a user should have in the product. There are two types of roles:
Faculty Roles are provided to all faculty imported into the product and allows the Evaluate administrator to choose whether or not the faculty member is allow to add additional questions to a survey.
*An additional setting needs to be applied per administration to allow faculty to add additional questions to a survey.
Report Administrator Roles are provided to users whose job is to absorb a collection of course evaluation data. For example, a Department Chair is often granted a Report Administrator Role to see results of course evaluation data for all course sections assigned to a department in the organization unit chart. Other roles could include: Dean, Provost, Program Head, etc.
If a Report Administrator should only see a subset of course section reports based on the faculty member teaching additional Faculty Roles should be created and will need to be assigned to faculty users.
