Determine the Built-In Tasks to Select
Use this topic to determine the built-in tasks to select for users or groups.
It contains guidelines and information about which built-in tasks authorize staff members to take actions for features.
Authorization for All Features
The All Operations built-in task contains all the built-in tasks for Anthology Student and its integrated products (such as Regulatory). It grants a staff member or group full access to all features.
Integration API Tasks
To facilitate the use of Anthology Student with Integration APIs, contact Anthology Professional Services.
General Guidelines
Built-in tasks that end with View or Get display the item. If you specify a task that ends with New, Add, Edit, or Delete, you should also specify the task that ends with View or Get so that the staff member can display the item they want to edit or delete or an item they added.
Built-In Tasks for Features for the Students Tile and Student Profile
Staff members use the Students tile to display a list of students so that they can access the Student Profile.
From the Student Profile, staff members can view, add, edit, and delete Student Profiles. By default, Anthology Student displays the students for the campuses the staff member has access to. The following authorizations control access to the Students list and Student Profiles.
- Basic Required Common Operations (to view a student)
- Common - Student - Delete
- Common - Student - Edit
- Common - Student - New
- Common - Student - View (also to view a student)
From the Student Profile, staff members can perform work for their module (such as a department or office). For example, from the Student Profile, a staff member can add a student application. The authorizations for the features available from the Students list follow this format.
modulename - tilename - action
Where action is either:
- Delete

For example, to authorize a staff member to add and edit a student application, you would grant them:
- Common - Student - View
- Admissions - Student Applications - New
- Admissions - Student Applications - Edit
Built-In Tasks for the Processes Tile
Staff members use the Processes tile to complete processes for their module (such as a department or office).
