UQ Staff

The process to grant these roles depends on whether you already have an active account in InPlace (i.e. if you have previously submitted an Access Request).

If you are new to the system you must submit an Access Request regardless of the role you require.

Standard Roles:  Placement Officer, UQ Academic Supervisor, School/Faculty Reporting or Placement Document Approver permission

Staff members must download the InPlace Access Request Form and follow its instructions to forward it for 3 levels of approval:

  1. School/Faculty Superuser
  2. Placement Management Group Chair
  3. Academic Registrar

After the 3rd approval the form is forwarded to ITS to enable the account. The School/Faculty Superuser who approved is then responsible for enabling the required roles (see instructions below).

Your School/Faculty Superuser who will have access to add additional function roles if required.

Restricted Roles: School/Faculty SuperUser, System Admin SuperUser, Partner Mapping - Integration

Staff members must download the InPlace Access Request Form and follow its instructions to forward it for 3 levels of approval:

  1. School/Faculty Superuser OR if there is none forward to a Head of School/Faculty Manager
  2. Placement Management Group Chair
  3. Academic Registrar

After the 3rd approval the form is forwarded to ITS to enable the account and the nominated role(s).

Please note once ITS receive approved access requests, configuration takes approximately 1-2 days to process through to InPlace.

Students

All students that are active in SI-net are given an account in Placements.

SuperUsers: Enable Roles and Discipline access to new staff after successful access request

 After ITS advises of user account setup there is an overnight process that should make the requested user's account and profile available in InPlace. A delegated School/Faculty SuperUser (typically the person who approved the access request) will need to add the required Disciplines to the account and profile of the new staff member.

Add Role

  1. Navigate to Admin > Users
  2. Search for staff member by username and click Detail
  3. Tick to select the role(s) appropriate for the staff member's duties in InPlace. These should match the role(s) selected in the Access Request form.
  4. Click Save

Add Discipline

  1. Navigate to Manage > Staff
  2. Search for staff member by given OR surname (not both) and click Detail
  3. Select the Disciplines tab on top row. Click Detail next to the campus.
  4. Tick to select appropriate Disciplines and click Save.

    (Note that if the Requirement Groups managed by your team use campuses other than St Lucia, you will need to also add a new Campus and select the same set of Disciplines for that campus also.)

Add Allocation Groups

This step can only be done after Disciplines are applied, but can be performed either by the School/Faculty SuperUser or by the new staff member themselves.

  1. In the Staff detail page click the Allocation Groups tab
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Add Allocation Group to expand the selection box
  3. For quickest selection of relevant groups, untick "Show current allocation groups" and tick "Show all for Staff Discipline/Campus"

    This populates the selection box with Allocation Groups across all years, and applicable to all Disciplines selected on the staff member's profile.
  4. Click to select specific groups, or Ctrl+Click to select multiple individual groups, or Click top and Shift+Click bottom to select a whole section of groups
  5. Click Save.
    (Note: This adds the user to the Allocation Group's "Staff" tab which controls which staff can manage placements for the group; users can also be added through that method instead)
