More Information
Teaching and Non Teaching Staff users
Groupcall Xporter reads the Occupation field in PASS, and if the field contains the word\string teacher then the user is considered a Teaching Staff user, and is given that role in RM Unify and all connected apps.
If the field contains anything other than teacher, e.g. Head of Year 7 etc., even if that user is actually a teacher in school, then they will be given the Non Teaching Staff role.
