Overview
Lecturers are now managed as a specific staff type under the Staff Management area. This change allows you to treat Lecturers like any other staff member while still identifying them clearly for academic and reporting purposes.
Where to manage Lecturers
Go to Settings.
Open the Staff Management area.
Lecturers are created and managed from the same screen as all other staff.
Creating a new Lecturer
When adding a new staff member, you can now set them as a Lecturer directly in the staff creation form.
To create a new Lecturer:
Go to Staff Management.
Click “Create a new staff member”.
Fill in the required personal and account details (name, email, etc.).
In “Lecturer” set it as "Yes".
Confirm the action by clicking "Create staff member".
Once saved, this person will appear in the staff list and will be identifiable as a Lecturer under their profile.
Lecturer permissions
Lecturers are treated as staff in terms of permissions. Being marked as a “Lecturer” does not restrict or automatically expand what they can do; their access is fully controlled by the role they have in the system.
Key points:
Lecturer is a staff type, not a separate permission profile.
You can give a Lecturer the same permissions as any other staff member (for example, administrative permissions, read-only access, or a custom mix).
Changes to staff permission sets apply equally to Lecturers and non-Lecturer staff.
