How do I create and manage groups if I am an Org Group Manager?
Who can create and manage groups?
- In your organization, users with the "Org Group Manager" permission can create and manage groups. This allows the Org Admin to assign a Group Manager to each school, department, or other relevant category. This article will focus on the Org Group Manager Role.
Org Group Managers
Benefits and uses for Org Group Managers:
- Up to date groups: Org Group managers will be able to keep groups updated when new hires join the district or when employees move positions or school from year to year.
- Effective utilization of groups in MobileMind: Your district may not be utilizing groups in MobileMind since it is a huge responsibility for the org admins to handle. By using the Group Manager roles, you can hand that off to people who know their staff and the needs of individual schools.
- An instructional or technology coach can create and manage groups for the schools they work with directly.
- A school principal can create and manage groups for new teachers, mentor teachers, specific grade levels, content areas, etc.
To assign one of these roles to a user in your organization, go to your HQ Dashboard and click Accounts and then Users.
Search for the user you would like to assign this role and click Edit on the right.
