Privileges
Privileges fall into three main categories:
Faculty
SP
Learner
Learner and SP privileges belong in the learner and SP categories, respectively. All the other privileges, neither learner nor SP, are categorized as Faculty.
User groups are categorized according to these three categories as well.
The category of a user group is determined by the most common type of privilege in the group:
Faculty: most of the group members are users with faculty privileges.
SP: most of the group members are users with SP privilege.
Learner: most of the group members are users with Learner privilege.
