Emulation allows you to view and update your faculty's data and create CVs on their behalf.
To emulate a faculty member, you must have Faculty 180 access. Have your dean's office contact the opus help desk to request access for you.
If you have an administrator role in your unit, follow the instructions to emulate faculty in your unit. If you are supporting a particular faculty member, rather than an entire unit, follow the instructions for individual support accounts below.
