Group Permissions
To grant all members of a Group access to one or more specific resources, click “Change” under the Permissions column. For each resource, you can specify that the group’s access as None (they will not see the resource at all), Full Access (ability to reserve), or View Only (they can view the resource(s), but cannot reserve them).
To quickly assign the same Permissions to a single group for all Resources, click one of the blue links (None, Full Access, or View Only) at the top of the Permissions window.
Group Roles
It is possible to grant members of a Group some or all Administrative privileges by granting one or more Roles to that group. To do this, click on “Change” in the Group Roles column.
Group Admin: Anyone with the Group Admin privilege only will see the “Responsibilities” dropdown at the top of their LabArchives Scheduler screen.
This dropdown will give them the ability to add new Users and Groups using all the features described above. Group Admins can also browse through all Group Wide reservations (for groups they control) via the “Group Reservations” option. Finally, Group Admins can generate Reports and send Announcements to other members of the Organization.
A Group Admin will become the Administrator of any Group they create. However, for a Group Admin to control any group that existed before they were given this Role, their Group Admin group will have to be added manually as the Administrator of these pre-existing groups. This can be done by the App Administrator under Application Management–> Groups, under the Group Administrator column. Click “Choose” under this column and select the appropriate group from the drop-down in the window to assign new Group Admins to pre-existing groups.
Application Admin: The Application Admin role has full administrative privileges. Anyone this role will see the Application Management drop down at the top of their LabArchives Scheduler screen.
This drop down gives them the ability to add and configure Users, Groups, Resources, and Schedules. App Admins also have the ability to send Announcements, set up Blackout times, and access the Application Configuration screen (white gear icon in the upper right corner).
Note that, when you personally create an account in LabArchives Scheduler (without being added or invited to a pre-existing Organization, you become the App Admin for your own Organization.
