Only a District-level user with "add user" authority can add or upgrade other District-level users. To allow an existing single college user to have District-level access, you must delete their single college user account completely, and add a new account using the District MIS code. You can determine whether that user will have "add user" authority or not at that time. To add a new District-level user, or to upgrade an existing single-college user account, please contact CCCApply College Support at cccapply@openccc.zendesk.com for assistance. |
