About Account Types and Administrative Access Rights
Users within FAR are either classified as a Faculty Account (for faculty members) or a Support Account (for non-faculty members). For each type of account, there are then three levels of administrative permissions that can be granted.
This article gives an overview of the account types and administrative rights in Faculty Activity Reporting (FAR, Faculty180).
If you are looking for the specific instructions on how to grant administrative rights to users, please see this article: Add/Edit Administrative Rights for Users.
Account Types and Administrative Rights within FAR
| Faculty Accounts |
Faculty Accounts are created for faculty members at the institution. Those users are granted access to their Profile and Activity Forms to input their information and activities. Note that actual employment status is separate from the account type a user is granted. Any user, regardless of their employment status can be granted a faculty member account.

| Support Accounts |
Support Accounts can be created for staff members and non-faculty members who need administrative access to FAR, such as an employee who maintains the database or supports faculty in some way (such as running reports) and may or may not have Full Administrative Rights. Support Accounts cannot enter in their own information or generate vitas of their personal data. If a user needs to perform these tasks, they should be created as a Faculty Account.
