Supervisors & teams
The Supervisors & teams plugin enables administrators to define structured relationships between users — managers and employees, teachers and students, parents and children — and use those relationships across other MuTMS plugins for notifications, approval workflows, and report content restrictions.
Features
Section titled “Features”- Flexible framework design supporting both simple supervisor relationships and named teams
- Role assignments in the subordinate’s user context based on the defined relationship
- Cohort-based access restrictions for managing relationships
- Team cohorts — subordinates of a team can be automatically added as cohort members
- Multi-tenancy aware — relationships respect tenant boundaries
- Usable from other MuTMS plugins for notifications, approvals, and report restrictions
The plugin supports two framework modes:
Supervisors mode defines one supervisor per subordinate, organised as a tree hierarchy. Suited to manager–employee or teacher–student relationships where workflows start with subordinate selection. Access control is defined in the subordinate’s user context.
Teams mode creates named teams of subordinates managed by a team supervisor. Suited to classes, project teams, or organisational units where workflows start with team creation. Teams have a name and optional ID number, each member can have a different position name, and a team cohort can be created automatically so that all members are added as cohort members. Access control is defined at system or tenant level.
