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.

If faculty members and administrators are manually added to FAR, administrative rights can be assigned to them when they are added.

These accounts are created at the subunit level and can have reporting or Full Administrative Rights. However, access is also impacted by the access assigned to the unit. |

Support accounts for these users can be created at the subunit level, and the users can have reporting rights, Full Administrative Rights, or limited rights.
