Adding or Removing Students from Groups

Students can be placed in groups so that certain reports can be created just for the students in that group. A student can belong to more than one group.

Teachers who have had the "Manage STAR Reading Screening, Progress Monitoring & Intervention" capability removed can only add or remove their own students from groups.

Who can do this with default capabilities?
