Adding Delegates
The Delegate tool is found in the main menu (top-right dropdown) of the COLA Web Editor. It allows you to give another user access to all of the items in your dashboard.
When you make someone your delegate, you give them permission to edit everything that you can edit, without making them publicly visible on any staff lists or sites. This is a good way to make non-staff editors of a site. Delegates can be added and removed anytime.
- Anybody with a UT EID can be added as a delegate
- Delegates have limited access to the Web Editor
- Your delegate(s) will have access to everything they had before, plus all of your dashboard items
Staff can add delegates when they want to...
- Add non-staff to their site as editors
- Give somebody permission to add/remove users from faculty and staff lists
- Give somebody permission to edit course descriptions
