Users with the "Agency System Administrator" role may create and manage user accounts in their agency. The link to the LACES Account Management documentation is available here: LACES Account Management
NOTE: WA has opted to remove some of the user roles included in the documentation.
Users with the Agency System Administrator role in WA can "ghost" other users in their agency. This can be useful to help troubleshoot if a specific user has questions or issues.
Log in with a user account that has the Agency System Administrator role assigned.
Click the Profile icon at the upper right of the screen and choose Account Manager in the dropdown.
Find a user whose roles you want to ghost and edit that user
Click the “Ghost User Roles on Next Sign-In” button.
Success message flashes briefly.
Sign out by going to the Profile icon and selecting Sign Out in the dropdown.
Sign back in using your regular username and password.
The LACES screen will have a red bar at the top to indicate that you are ghosting another user account.
While ghosting an account, you will still have your own widgets on the dashboard, not those of the user you are ghosting, and if you go to the Profile icon > Profile > Security tab, the account info displayed is that of the person who is ghosting, not the account being ghosted.
When done ghosting an account, go to the Profile icon and select Sign Out in the dropdown.
When you sign in again, you will no longer be ghosting another user account and will have your standard permissions.
The custom "College Full Access" role does not allow data to be edited in LACES if the data is imported via the integration with ctcLink. This data must be updated/edited in ctcLink rather than directly in LACES.
The custom "College Limited Access" role has the same permissions as the "College Full Access" role with the exception that it does not allow records to be deleted.

A user should only be assigned a single user role unless they are an Agency System Administrator who manages user accounts. That person will have the Agency System Administrator role in addition to the one that gives them access to the LACES data, such as College Full Access or Agency Full Access.
