  These are number of examples of how access to resources can be controlled.

  Pre-requisite Study

Roles

Within Myplace there are a number of formal and informal roles that can be assigned. Myplace Roles are generally mapped to PEGASUS Responsibilities.

• Manual Enrolments - Adding Informal Roles to a Class

  This article refers to Enrolling of users in an informal way (on-the-fly) to your class.

  Typically, Formal Roles in Class Catalogue Classes are added via Pegasus

  • Staff Roles are added using the "Manage my responsibilities" link in the Pegasus Administration console.

• Add Formal Staff Roles to a Class

  This article refers to the adding of your own staff roles in the class catalogue within Pegasus

  Note: Role changes in the application Pegasus may take a while to be visible as changes within MyPlace due to the replication process between the two systems.

• Assigning Roles and Responsibilities

  This article refers to when you wish to make changes on behalf of other staff members to the Class Catalogue

  
  

• Manual Student Enrolment on a Class

  In most cases student enrolments should not be manually managed. PEGASUS Class Codes or Programme Codes are preferred and will be kept in sync with the student's official curriculum.

  There are cases where it is necessary to manually enrol a student into a class:

  1. Student enrolments are being entirely manually managed (see Manual Enrolments - Adding Informal Roles to a Class)
