Set authority
To start using the Log viewer plug-in, it is necessary to set authority. The Log viewer system administrator sets authority to give the specific user the right to use the features provided by the plug-in. When an authorized user logs in to WebClass, a link to the features will be displayed on the screen.
Required authority for Log viewer
Organizations and roles
In the Log viewer you must first create the "organizations" to limit the users of the plug-in. The organizations can be freely created according to the members who use the plug-in, for example, according to the groups, classes, research groups and sections, or according to the academic departments and faculties or according to general, upper-level and teaching license courses. When the organizations is created, you can add the members.
Even members within the same organization can do different things depending on their role. It takes time and effort to set the authority for each member, so you can group them by the role. Such a group is called “role”.
Set authority for each role
In the Log viewer, the authority is given to each role.
For example, if you are setting authority for the Teaching license portfolio plug-in,
-
To the “student” role, give an authority to “own and write in the personal portfolio".
-
To the “teacher” role, give an authority to “view the assigned user’s portfolio” and “write in the advisor’s field".
Once you set the authority in this way, when the authorized user logs in to WebClass, the links to the available features will be displayed in the screen.
Organizational hierarchy
Persons who manage multiple organizations need to be able to overview the entire organizations to check information and access student data. You can set the hierarchy for the Log viewer’s organizations.
In the above example, the organization "Department of Economics" is created under the organization "Faculty of Economics". In this state, by giving the "Head of Faculty" role the authority to "view the assigned user’s portfolio ", he will be able to view the portfolio of all the students belonging to the "Faculty of Economics" and lower-level organizations.
In this way, in the Log viewer, the organization configuration and the authority granted to the roles determine the range of user’s operation and the information that can be viewed.
