Administrator Permissions for Programs

By default, mentoring administrators have permission to manage all mentoring programs in your organization. The Manage Administrator Permissions for Programs administrator permission under Role Based Permissions allows the granted role to specify which users/administrators are authorized to manage specific mentoring programs.

When this permission is granted, the user will have an additional Administrator Permission Configuration option under the Mentoring Program Settings. This page allows administrator permissions to be granted for specific mentoring programs, so admins can grant access to users to manage just one mentoring program.
