When adding a new contact / User to Paradigm what type / level of access needs to be assessed. Different levels of access can edit / update and access varying amounts of the system from limited student data (Reception) right to Full admin / Registrar level access for full system access and Government reporting. The type of access given to a new user will depend on their position within the institution.
Please note: Depending on the individual users levels of access not all pages will be available or editable. If you have Full Admin level access and the pages still isn't visible it maybe either not being used at your institution or have been hidden. For more information contact the Silverband help desk.
System will automatically create a system user login each time new contact is created. If the contact record is not an active system user, then their login should be set to disabled.
This part of the system is not a replacement of the HR application, data entered here may be visible to different types of users. It is therefore not recommended to store sensitive data in this system.
There is an option to limit users from accessing and/or editing student related record with a different institution to the one specified against that user. By default, this setting is not enabled. A request can be made via help desk to enable this feature.
