To add a new Staff Manager you will need to be logged in as either a Site Administrator or a Site Manager. 

  1. Go to Quick-access menu > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles.
  2. Click the Staff Manager link in the table titled Please choose a role to assign.
  3. Find the user you want to give the Staff Manager role in the Potential users list.
  4. Select the user (they will become highlighted).
  5. Click Add

The user will now appear in the Existing users list. 

Once you have added the Staff Managers you require, you can simply navigate away from the page, as there is no button to save. You can also remove users by repeating the steps above, instead selecting the user in the Existing users list and then clicking the Remove button.
