Add/Edit Administrative Rights
Institutions can manage administrative rights directly within Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180). Administrative rights can be modified by unit based on the organizational structure of your institution. This article reviews the administrative levels that can be assigned to faculty members and administrators.
Check out these articles About Account Types and Administrative Access Rights and how to Define Unit Administrative Access Rights for further details.
