Separate role access from teaching scope
Roles provide the usual permissions. Administrators can add extra permissions for an individual where needed. Teaching assignments identify which class or subject a teacher works with; granting a permission alone does not turn a teaching-only account into a school-wide office account.
- Step 1. Open Roles & Permissions to review a role’s responsibilities.
- Step 2. In Classes, assign class teachers and subject teachers separately.
- Step 3. Review the staff member’s access before granting broad administrative privileges.
- Step 4. Use Requests & my access to review a specific missing permission or assignment.
Maintain staff access
- Resend an invitation when required after checking the email and the current invite state.
- Use the available invitation cancellation action if the invitation should no longer be accepted.
- Turn off access when a person leaves, and reassign their teaching responsibilities.
- Review named report approvers separately; a staff role does not by itself nominate that person to approve every report.
