Any Connect staff member can be given access to students by making the staff member part of a Staff Group, and then adding students to a Student Group, and giving the staff access to the Students. Any administrator with the Group Admin module can create a Staff Group.
This Article will explain how to Create a Staff Group and Attach it to a Student Group
Attach a Staff Group to a Student Group
Create a Staff Group
- Click on Groups
2. Click on +New
3. Type in a title, like "2018-19 Beta Club" and a description
Pro Tip: Choose a group name that is similar to the Student Group you'll be creating, so that they will be easy to find if you need to modify both.
4. Select Users as the group type
5. Type in the Users you are looking to add to the Group
6. Click Save
Note: We automatically add the creator of the User Group to the group and your district's SPOC (single person of contact) will have access to edit any group created for your district as well.
Attach A Staff Group To A Student Group
Now that you have a Staff Group, you just need to attach it to a Student Group!
If you created your Staff Group before creating the Student Group that they need to see, it's easy to assign the Staff Group during the Student Group creation process.
When you create the new student group, you'll be asked who needs to have access to it. Simply click that field, and select Selected Staff Groups
You'll then be asked to select the Staff Group you want to have access from a list of the available Staff Groups.
Pick the one you want, then complete the rest of the Student Group creation process, and all the staff members in your Staff Group will now be able to contact all the Students in your Student Group!
Now that you have a Staff Group, check out this article now to Create a Student Group
