Users & Roles

The Users page (under School administration) lists everyone who belongs to your school and the role each person holds.

Roles at your school​

RoleWhat they can do
AdministratorFull management of the school.
TeacherRun lectures, post materials, set and grade assignments for their courses.
StudentEnroll, attend, submit assignments, view grades.
ParentMonitor linked children.

A single person can hold more than one role (for example, a teacher who is also a parent), and roles are specific to your school.

Membership status​

Each membership has a status:

  • Approved — an active member.
  • Pending — approved in principle but awaiting something (such as a first payment or orientation).
  • Suspended — temporarily revoked (e.g. non-payment or conduct).

Suspending a member blocks their access without deleting their history.

Common tasks​

  • Add a teacher or admin. Grant the appropriate role to a person so they can start working. Teachers then appear when you assign course teachers.
  • Approve a student. Most students arrive through Applications; approving leads to a student membership.
  • Change a role or status. Promote, suspend, or reactivate members as needed.
  • Link a parent to a child. Parents see their children through guardianship links you create. A parent can have several children, and a child can have several guardians.

Guardianship (parents and children)​

Parents only see a child after a guardianship link connects them. Set these up so parents can monitor schedules, attendance, grades, and billing for their own children — and no one else's. See the parent-side guide Linking Children.

Auditing changes​

Membership and role changes are recorded in the Audit Log, so you can see who changed what and when.
