Assign Staff to Sections

Overview

Use Staff Roster to create and maintain staff-to-section assignments for academic operations.

Prerequisites

  • Opening /StaffRoster/Index requires the roster.read permission. By default this is granted to District Admin, Registrar, Teacher, and Staff roles — Power User does not have it and will see Access Denied for the entire workflow.
  • Creating, editing, or removing assignments additionally requires the Sections.AssignStaff permission, granted by default only to School Admin and Teacher.
  • Staff and sections exist and appear in assignment dropdowns.

Step-by-step Procedure

  1. Open /StaffRoster/Index.
  2. Use Search (Staff, section, course...) and choose Search to filter current assignments.
  3. Select Assign Staff to Section to open /StaffRoster/Assign.
  4. In Assignment Details, choose:
    • Staff Member
    • Section
  5. Select Create Assignment.
  6. Return to /StaffRoster/Index and verify the new row appears.
  7. Use Actions to Edit or Remove assignment records as needed.

Variations / Branching Flows

  • Remove assignment flow:

Selecting remove prompts confirmation: Are you sure you want to remove this assignment?

  • Multi-assignment support:

A staff member can have multiple section assignments, and a section can have multiple staff assignments.

Expected Outcomes

  • Assignment record is created and visible in the roster table.
  • Search/reset controls correctly filter and restore the assignment list.
  • Edit/remove actions are available according to permission.

Troubleshooting / Edge Cases

  • Access Denied on /StaffRoster/Index itself:

role lacks roster.read entirely (e.g. Power User) — this is expected, not a bug.

  • Missing assignment button/actions (but the roster list itself is visible):

role has roster.read but lacks Sections.AssignStaff permission.

  • Save fails:

ensure both Staff Member and Section are selected.

  • No rows visible after save:

clear search filters and reload the table.
