The SEAtS system has default roles that define the functionality and features a user has access to. It is possible for an institution to create additional custom roles if required — this can be discussed with your project manager.
Default Roles
All users will be assigned to one of these roles:
- Full Administrator: Access to all functionality in the application.
- Administrator: IT administrator, access to the back end of the system but no access to student/lecture data.
- Lecturer: Only has access to the lecture screens and students assigned to those lectures.
- Student: Access to calendar view and the student's own profile and data.
Mapping Users to Roles
If you choose to integrate your authentication system into SEAtS, the system requires a one-to-one mapping for these groups.
Example of an Active Directory system:
Active Directory Group | SEAtS Group
SEAtSFullAdministrators | FullAdministrators
SEAtSAdministrators | Administrator
SEAtSLecturers | Lecturer
SEAtSStudents | Student
It is recommended that customers create groups to match these and add any existing groups to these SEAtS groups. Depending on the internal organisation of the institution, these groups may contain subgroups.
External Key
As part of an integration with Azure, you are able to link Azure AD groups to the Access Profiles within SEAtS by using the 'External Key' field.
