This support article discusses the benefits of setting up groups in Google to work with Trelson, as well as the advantages of dividing your domain into organizations in Trelson.
Setting up organizations in Trelson Assessment
In Trelson, a domain can be divided into multiple organizations. The advantage of this is that you can control who has what rights more granularly. Another advantage is that you can obtain more granular statistics. For example, if a domain is divided with one organization per school, you can see how much Trelson has been used at each specific school and not just for the domain as a whole.
The organizational structure in Trelson is independent of the OU structure in Google, and there is no connection between them. The connection that can be made between Google and organizations in Trelson is via groups, as described below.
Setting up the Google environment
There is value in having the staff and students who will use Trelson divided into Google groups to simplify the work for both teachers and administrators.
To avoid having to add students one by one every time a teacher creates an exam, they can instead add an entire group or Classroom class to the exam. Therefore, having students divided into groups by class or in relevant Google Classrooms significantly facilitates the creation of exams in Trelson.
Google groups can also be used to facilitate the administration of permissions in Trelson. Roles in Trelson can be assigned either to specific users or to entire groups. This means, for example, that if you want to have a group of users who will administer all the organizations you have in Trelson, you can create a Google group and assign it as an administrator to all organizations. When you then add or remove users from that group, their permissions will be updated directly in Trelson for all organizations where the group is added without having to make any changes in Trelson.
Note that Trelson does not consider group hierarchy in any of the above cases. Only direct members of the group are considered by Trelson. Members of subgroups will not be included, either when added to exams or to receive roles in organizations.
