Roles
In Elevate, there are three levels of access: admin, dept (department chair), and user (typically faculty). What you see in the sidebar depends on your role.
Admin
An admin has full access to the school's curriculum data, including all courses, editing, and administrative pages. In addition to what other roles can do, admins can:
- Users, Tags, Disciplines, and Divisions to manage org structure, tagging, and course metadata
- Stats for school-wide metrics on courses, users, the submission pipeline, mapping coverage, and more
- Settings for branding, mission statement, and customizable labels for course tabs (see School settings)
- Course Map editor to build and save the visual map of how courses connect (this is separate from the public course map; see Public site and views)
- Approve All on a submission to set both department and admin approval in one step, and Approve All Submissions on the list to process the entire queue at once
Dept (Department chair)
A department chair can edit courses they are assigned to, and can edit courses for any user who lists them as their department chair. They can also approve or request changes on submitted courses. Their action updates the department-level approval on the submission.
User
A user can view the catalog and alignment features they are allowed to see, and can edit courses they are assigned to. They cannot access user management, org setup, stats, the admin Course Map editor, or school-wide settings.
Assign courses and department chairs in Users so visibility and review responsibilities stay accurate. To change your own access level, contact an admin.
