@nick in as staff !
It allows you to add whom you wish to your Simple Portal staff block.
Enabling the permission for a membergroup will allow all users in that membergroup to appear on the staff block.
To allow individual user additions, create a low ranked (1 star) membergroup (based off of regular permissions/unique permissions), enable the SP staff permission for it and then add users to that member group.
manual change is self explanatory.
