Hi All, Here's a weird one, its probably a silly question but we've discovered that when one of our clients creates a new staff member in SIMS, there "Role" (such as Employee, Teacher, user) doesn't come up as 'Employee' automatically. We are trying to add the "employee" role to these teachers, but can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where to go? Feels like its should be straightward but we just aren't finding it! Please see attachment for the bit i mean,Thanks
