The Manage Feature Releases permission is recommended for staff who make product release and email campaign decisions for your institution.
Staff with this permission receive notifications about product updates and key email campaigns and manage toggles for new adoption features. For communication purposes, it may also be helpful to assign the Handshake Point of Contact permission.
Who should have this permission?
We recommend assigning Manage Feature Releases to one staff member. Your team can assign it to additional staff members at its discretion.
Assign the Manage Feature Releases permission
1. Click your name in the upper-right corner, then select School Settings.
2. Click Staff Management from the left menu.
3. Locate the staff member you want to assign the permission to. Click Manage beside their name, then select Edit User from the dropdown.
4. On the staff member’s account page, click Roles from the left menu.
5. Click Show Permissions below the Permission Group options to expand the list of permissions.
6. Under Advanced Settings, check the box next to Manage Feature Releases.
7. Click Save Changes to save the staff member’s updated permissions.
Manage feature preferences
Once assigned the permission, the staff member can access Feature Preferences within School Settings.
The Feature Releases tab is updated regularly with product launches and email activation options.
Decisions apply to your institution’s entire Handshake instance. Different decisions cannot be made for different student groups.
