Staff

Staff profiles describe your team: job title, department, role, site, caseload limit, languages and availability. A staff profile is separate from a login account. Link the two so that work can be assigned to the person who signs in.

Where: sidebar → Staff (/staff). Needs: staff.read / staff.write.
