+Security groups are labeled with a common name that describes a user type. For example, the user group “Attendance Administrator” would be the person at the school who needs to access the areas of the SIS that have to do with attendance. There might be one or several people who are “members” or belong to the same group. The group is already set with all the permissions required. As another example, for the group “Teachers-Classroom Instructors,”all required permissions that a teacher would need to perform their basic duties are included in this group. All classroom teachers would need to be added to this group as “members” so they can do their job without interruption.
