Titles, or degrees, are attributes that label and identify users so that other people in the system have a better understanding of who they are. These Titles are created and maintained by your organization and, once created, can be assigned to any General, Capture, Offline, Setup, or Inactive users.
Titles can be grouped under Title Folders for organizational purposes. These groupings will be represented in the Title drop-down when filtering a List of users or adding a Title to a user's profile.
"Title" is the default name of this user attribute. Your organization may have given this attribute a different name.
Who can create a new Title or Title Folder?
Anyone with the "Global User Administrator" permission can create Titles and Title Folders.
People with other Administrator permissions may be able to access the Titles Administration page, but will not be able to make changes to it.
