The Department Administrator Interface

Which tabs a department admin sees on login, and which views depend on department settings or are limited to their own departments.

This article covers what a Department Administrator sees and can access after logging in. For how an admin’s permissions are set, see User Permissions & Roles.

When a Department Administrator logs in, they land on the Scholarships tab.

Here they can see all scholarships within their department(s). In this example, the user belongs to the General Scholarships department and sees only that department’s scholarships.
