Site administrators for each department can set up sub-departments to control the visibility of projects to users. Setting up a sub-department is recommended when a 'site user' does not require to see all the projects coming of a department. For instance, a student project can be set up under a sub-department and the student can be assigned access only to that sub-department. This way, the student will only be able to see their study (or studies) and not the ones from the department. Please see here for instructions on creating 'sub-department only' user.
Note: While the sub-department user can only see their studies within their sub-department, the site administrator for the main department will be able to see all studies including the ones from each sub-department.
Site administrators can add a new sub-department to their department by accessing the department by clicking on the settings icon.
Once created, the sub-department will be available for addition to individual studies.
