Admin permission groups determine what information can be accessed by an admin. They are assigned when creating an account for a new admin, and can be changed at any time.
To Create a Admin permission group:
- Go To (School or District) Main > Admins > Admin Permission Template
- Create
- Enter a Title for the group
- Choose the level/availability for the group:
- Entire District: This permission group can be used on any role, school or district
- School Type: This permission group can only be used at the specified school type, I.E. Elementary, Middle, High
- Set of Schools: This permission group can only be used at the specified schools
- Single School: This permission group can only be used at this specified school
- Select the appropriate permissions for this template. For further information, please see below
- Save
By default, SchoolInsight provides many smaller permission groups focusing on specific areas. For example, health records, lunch, or students. These smaller permission groups can be used as building blocks for an admin's overall permission set.
When customizing admin permissions, there are six different permission types that can be configured on the various permission categories:
Name | Icon | Description |
View | Allows you to view data on this specific category | |
Modify | Allows you to modify day to day data related to this category. Selecting the modify permission also gives you the view permission for this category | |
Setup | Allows you to configure the base options for this category. Selecting the Setup permission also gives you the view and modify permission for this specific entry | |
Go To |
Allows you to view the specific user's main page, as though you had logged in as that user. Selecting the Go To permission also gives you the view permission for this specific entry | |
Send | Allows you to send a message from that category | |
Create Only | Allows you to create new entries for this category, but not modify any existing information |
