In a large MAT it is sensible to 'delegate' certain aspects of the Governor Records to the local Chair or Clerk. GVO allows this to happen but having an additional 'permission' in a user profile for a non-Manager.
For a full list of 'who can do what' see the section on Board & Governor Record update. in the Help system.
This additional permission allows the user to perform the following tasks in any board where they themselves are a member.
1. Add Committees to that board (using the Board/Edit Board function (no other editing options are available - these are reserved for the GVO Manager)
2. Add/Remove board members (they must already be in the GVO).
3. Update Governor records for other board members with their roles on that board (from the pre-defined lists), and the committees they sit on.
4. (Optional via profile checkbox) - to update the Register of Interest for a user on the board
The Local GVO Manager can add this additional permission to a user by using the 'Users' option from the main navigator, then select the user then use 'Edit Profile'. The setting is at the bottom of the 'Special Actions' list...
Note: There is a second 'checkbox' that also allows this delegated authority to update the Register of Interests for a user
(NOTE: they must also have the first 'Edit Board Member' checkbox selected for this to work).
