MyLO Manager
On the Staff tab in MyLO Manager, you can allocate roles to staff for both information purposes and to assign permissions. (Only individuals with a current UTAS staff username can be added.)
Role Changes
Once a unit reaches its end date you will lose access to the unit within MyLO for that one day - the unit will still appear in your My Units widget list but will appear greyed out. Your access will be restored overnight once your role has been changed automatically by the system - from a Lecturer to Past Lecturer, Student to Past Student etc. If the unit is still being marked lecturers and support staff are able to reopen the unit for a short period of time.
