Each GVO has a local manager who has the role of 'Manager' assigned. The manager has access to the following functions (pretty much everything in the GVO):
- Create/Edit/Delete users
- Create/Edit Boards and Groups
- Manager Governor Records
- Create content (files, pages, events, tasks, discussions)
- Create/edit/move folders
- Access the GVO Settings page to perform various GVO set-up and admin tasks (see help)
- Access the Wastebin (to recover deleted items - see help on Wastebin)
The GVO Manager is usually the clerk or chair or a member who has an interest/aptitude to locally manage the system (it is not an onerous task). In most case two people are given 'Manager' access (the second as a 'deputy').
Note: A Manager can see ALL content in the GVO even if access permissions are assigned. If an private area (not visible to the manager) is required then a Room is used and the Manager is not given access. Call the GVO Support team to create additional rooms.
Note: A manager cannot lower their own profile to Editor/Author/Reader - when a manager leaves the GVO it is normal practice to create a new Manager who will take over and then the new Manager edits the profile of the previous Manager (and removes the profile). This ensures that there is always at least one Manager in a GVO.
