Individual Permissions
Permissions
To provide your users with the appropriate access within your portal we have created Compass Permission Groups with their own set of individual Default and School-Defined permissions.
The Permission Groups are managed in your Compass portal via Permissions Manager. Depending on your school's IT systems and processes you can then allocate users to Permission Groups within your Compass portal via People Management or via your LDAP system (Active Directory, Open Directory or Novell).
As well as being assigned to Permission Groups, staff can be individually assigned specific permissions on the school's Active Directory.
This document is designed to assist you with managing access to all areas of your Compass portal and to ensure that every user has permission to the appropriate areas, dependent on their role and your school's requirements.
For schools able to assign individual permissions via the AD, note with permissions below that Individual permissions need to be prefaced with 'CompassApp' in your LDAP server. This means for example if you are providing a staff member with ReportsAdmin, the group will be CompassAppReportsAdmin'Individual Permissions
Compass has a range of Individual Permissions that give users specific access within Compass to complete processes or access modules/information.
