The staff role allows a user to create staff accounts and to access user information (name, address, phone) for all users. There are many employees who should only have email and the ability to receive SMS notification. (Their job does not involve handling college data.) However, we still need to be able to communicate with them. Adding a new user role called "user" would allow these employees to have limited access to Populi. This new account level would be applied to all users who were not students and would be the entry level (lease user rights) account. It would also allow a mass email to be sent to all employees.

Sam Dean I agree! Most of our "staff" are in positions that should not have the access allotted to that role. i recently had a "Staff" role delete all of the news feeds from her screen thinking that she was only deleting them from her Populi account. The deleting affected the entire college! I don't have a role to put people in that limits them to receiving messages and allows us to track them as employees.

Adam Sentz @Sam - Perhaps you could use a tag to track them instead of the Staff role. They wouldn't receive emergency notifications, but you could target the tag via mailing lists.

Adam Sentz @Sam - By the way, News is "soft deleted" so we can restore anything that shouldn't have been deleted in two shakes.

Erik Morrow I would like to see this feature implemented as well.
