Creating a Custom Role

You can access custom role creation through the Account Center. To navigate to the Account Center:

1. Selecting the cube menu in the top banner of the ACS app.

2. Choosing Account Center from the drop-down menu

 

3. Under the General Tab, select Role Management

 

4. Select Create Role to begin the Custom Role creation process

 

To begin, you will provide general information for the role such as the (a) title (b) description. Once you have entered this information you can proceed to the next step by selecting Next in the lower right hand corner on the screen.

 

Here, the system allows you to Assign Permissions for your custom role. Permission titles (c) can be toggled to turn on a permission. Under the Create, Read, Update, and Delete (d) you can further refine the permissions to limit how the user will interact with each Permission Title.

To assign one or more users to the new Custom Role, select from a list of administrative users (e) at your institution.

 

In the last step, you will select the email notifications that this Custom Role will receive. Toggling each Notification Setting (f) reveals checkboxes that allow for further customization for these email notifications. To finish creating your Custom Role select the Create Role button in the bottom right corner
