Manage Directory Roles

Learn how Organization Administrators add and remove staff from directory roles in PEARS.

Permission required: Organization Administrator.

Organization Administrators can add and remove staff from directory roles directly from the PEARS Directory page. Changes to role assignments take effect immediately.

Important Notes

• Staff members are listed alphabetically by last name within each role.

• Organization Administrators can add themselves to roles, but cannot remove themselves from a role. Another Organization Administrator must handle self-removal.

• Some roles (like Unit Director) may also be assigned automatically through other admin tools. See Directors for details.

• For information about what each role can do, see SNAP-Ed Directory Roles and Extension Directory Roles.
