Faculty Groups allow you to delegate the monitoring of activity, access to student activity reports, and email alerts. Faculty Groups can be configured in Securly Filter or Securly Aware.

Note that only a Securly admin has the authority to create, edit, and delete Faculty Groups. Faculty groups can not currently be cloned or renamed.

Create a new Faculty Group

1. Log in to Securly Filter or Securly Aware.
2. Navigate to Users > Faculty groups.
3. Click on "Create faculty Group". Enter the group name and the email(s) of the teachers or staff members to be included in the group, separated by commas.

Select from the checkboxes for the tabs you want to allow Faculty Group users to get alerts on.

For Aware

For Filter
To enable Filter faculty group users to receive blocked activity email alerts, select the relevant check boxes. Click Next, and the Faculty Group will be created.
For Aware flagged activity and Google/Azure scanning email alerts, select the relevant check boxes as seen in the screenshot below, and set the confidence levels to determine your threshold for receiving email alerts. This does not mean that we will detect activities only above your selected confidence level; it only relates to the email alerts you receive. We will continue to flag all activities as usual and log them in the Activities tab. They will be available to you at all times.

Add permission to view OUs

Once a new group has been created, you need to assign OUs to the group. Faculty group users will be displaying reports only to students belonging to the selected OUs.

Add users to a Faculty Group

To add a staff member or teacher to an existing group, click the (...) icon on the right side of the screen, then click on "Add User". Then, enter the email(s) of the user(s), separated by commas.

Editing a Faculty Group

It is possible to edit access for the faculty group or change the email alerts they receive, and more by updating the relevant fields under the "Configurations" tab in Filter, or the "Settings" tab in Aware.
