How to set up desk-based processing

Set up desk-based processing by assigning admissions staff to roles with permissions on specific desks.

Attention. Admissions staff must be assigned to custom roles, such as ApplicationsOfficerHealth, for desk-based processing.

Set up desk-based processing as follows:

  1. On the student management system or Azure Active Directory, create a group with the users to process applications at a specific desk. For example, the group smsHealthOfficer.

  2. On System admin, go to Authorisation and then Groups and then select button add record. For example, add the group smsHealthOfficer.

  3. On System admin, go to Authorisation and then Permissions and then Admissions and then Applications and then the Desk Access area, or you can drill down further to the area for the required desk. Then, select button add record and then Role and enter the Name, such as ApplicationsOfficerHealth, and a Description of the role.

  4. Go to the Groups tab for the role and then select the add group assignment button.

  5. On Add group, enter the group name, such as smsHealthOfficer, and a description. Then, select Add group to assignment.

  6. On the Role permissions tab, select selection checked the permissions of the role then select button save permission assignment. Note that you cannot change inherited permissions.
