Assigning Departments to a Specific Staff User

Overview

When you create a staff user account, you have the option to set it to use the team department assignments.  This means that whatever departments were assigned to the team where the staff belongs, it will be inherited by this user if the option "Use team department assignments" is enabled. You can disable that option and select specific department assignments for the user. This article provides steps in assigning specific departments to a specific staff user.
