In the COLA Web Editor, all users can be given new affiliations.
An affiliation is the department, program, institute, center, etc. (called Offices in COLA Web Editor) that the user belongs to. A user may have multiple affiliations.
A role indicates the position of the user. Users can be: faculty, staff, admin, or graduate student.
Staff get administrative access to the content of their affiliated office’s website.
Admin get global access to all of the offices in the COLA Web Editor, and so will not have an office affiliation.
