Portal Security Permissions for Staff Kiosk Video

This video explains how to configure portal security permissions for Staff Kiosk using role‑based access in TASS.web, showing administrators how to control what information and functionality different groups of staff can access. It walks through navigating to Portal Security Permissions, creating and maintaining user roles, assigning users to those roles, and allocating permissions at a granular level across homepage features, menus and programs. The video emphasises best practice by using roles rather than individual user permissions, demonstrates bulk permission management and context‑sensitive help, and highlights how access to other staff members’ details can be tailored based on roles such as teaching staff, heads of department and executive users.
