The Group Admin serves as an admin for a specific group rather than the full university. Primarily, a group admin has access to reports for learners in their group. They can be granted additional access to a variety of user and course management tasks through University Settings.

Group Hierarchy Relationship
An admin of a parent group is also an admin of all sub-groups. An admin of a sub-group is not an admin of the parent group. An admin of a parent group is not a student in each sub-group. They can access the sub-groups, but cannot participate as a member of the sub-group.
Group Admin Permissions
If no other privileges have been granted, Group Admins can access the following:
Reports Tab:
- Dashboards
- My Reports
- Transcript

- Grade Book
- Completed Course Hours
- User $BlueBucks
Training Tab:
- Course Emailer

If you want your group admins to have greater control, you can go to Admin > Settings > University Properties and grant (or deny) access.
CAUTION: The properties tab contains several university property features which have a major impact on how your university operates. Make changes with care and consult your BlueVolt Customer Success Manager if you have any questions.
