Staff Policy Assignments

Use the Staff Policy Assignments page to view, assign, change, and remove the security policies that control access to the:

• Types of documents configured by your institution (document polices) 

• Tasks that staff members create using the task templates configured by your institution (task policies) 

To make it easier to assign policies, you can select multiple staff members at once.

You can also manage policies for individual staff members on their Contact Manager page. Refer to Add or Edit Contact Manager Settings for Staff.

Anthology Student does not filter the page to display only the staff members associated with the campuses for the staff members using the page. It displays all staff members for all campuses. You can filter the list by specifying all or part of the name in the search box at the top of the page.

If you change a policy and the new policy does not have permissions for their existing:

• Documents, they can view but cannot work with their existing documents. For example, if a staff member added a document with a due date, they can view but cannot change the due date for the document.

• Tasks, they can work with their existing tasks. For example, if a staff member was assigned a task, they can still view, edit, and close those tasks.

If you remove a policy and do not specify another:

• Document policy for the staff members, they can view but cannot work with those existing documents. For example, if a staff member added a document with a due date, they can view but cannot change the due date for the document.

• Task policy for the staff members, they can work with their existing tasks. For example, if a staff member was assigned a task, they can still view, edit, and close their existing tasks.
