Allows administrators to define relationship frameworks between users — managers and employees, teachers and students, parents and children — and use those relationships across other MuTMS plugins for notifications and in the future also approval workflows, and report content restrictions.

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
• Used by other MuTMS plugins for notifications, approvals, and report restrictions

Supervisors mode

One supervisor per subordinate, organised as a tree hierarchy. Suitable for manager-employee or teacher-student relationships where workflows start with subordinate selection.

• One supervisor position per subordinate per framework
• No vacant supervisor positions
• No team names or position names
• Access control defined in the subordinate user context with optional cohort restrictions

How to set up:

1. Go to Site administration / Users / User relation frameworks
2. Add a new framework using the Supervisors mode
3. Open a user profile and use the Actions menu to add a supervisor

Teams mode

Named teams of subordinates managed by a team supervisor. Suitable for 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
• Supervisor position may be vacant
• Supervisor can be added as their own team member
• Team cohort can be created automatically — all team members are added as cohort members
• Access control defined at system or tenant level with optional cohort restrictions

How to set up:

1. Go to Site administration / Users / User relation frameworks
2. Add a new framework using the Teams mode
3. Go to the Teams tab
4. Add teams and team members
