District/MAT Control and Management Of Staff Groups

This feature allows a District/MAT to create, configure, and enforce settings for Staff Groups to Schools. Also, Districts/MATs can easily manage Staff Group Permissions, Notifications, Email Schedules, and Time Blocks for multiple schools at the same time while giving the option of which schools to enforce these settings to. 

Below are instructions on how to create, apply, and manage Staff Groups through the Central District/MAT dashboard to schools.
