Granting Access to Recommend Program Leaders for Online Training
This article reviews how to place the necessary Organization Affiliation role designations in an individual's account, granting them access to recommend program leaders for online training in the Education Portal (programadmin.nami.org). These Organization Affiliation designations include:
- State Program Director
- Education Program Administrator
- Programs Contact
IMPORTANT: The role designations above will also grant access to the education program materials in the Extranet, however, they are reserved for NAMI State or Affiliate program directors, coordinators, and contacts. If you have a program leader that cannot access the Extranet, and does not hold one of the positions mentioned above, please check to see if they have the necessary program leader designations (Leader Designation AND Local record types) in their account.
