-
Updates are commonly required when job duties, titles, or departmental expectations change.
-
Role Templates are still being built and modified in LMS Legacy, not LMS v2.
Important Considerations & Best Practices
-
Always verify the purpose of the Role Template and ensure it aligns with current team responsibilities.
-
When modifying an existing template, consult leadership (Lindsay or Alex) before adding or removing any roles.
-
Reference existing users with correct access when determining which permissions to include in new templates.

Use clear, descriptive naming for templates (e.g., “Support Specialist Standard Roles”).
