How do I create an Admin account?

This article will cover how to create a new admin account in SchoolInsight. An admin account can be tied to a single school, multiple schools, or even to the district level. Each of these roles can then be assigned to specific permission groups or individual permissions. For more information on admin permission groups and permission types, please view the following article.

To create a new admin:

1. Go to (District or School) Main > Admins
2. Create
3. There are two options when creating a new admin 
   • Use existing employee
     • If the incoming admin already has a school admin or instructor account at any school, select Use existing employee and type in the employee’s name into search box
     • Select the name from the list and the existing employee information will populate into the form
     • When creating an employee using this method, if that employee already has login access to SchoolInsight, they will be able to log in using the same email address and password that they currently use. Otherwise, you will have to input their email and set a temporary password for them to log in.
   • Create a new employee
     • If the incoming admin is someone whose information is not yet added into SchoolInsight, select Create a new employee
     • From there, enter the employee’s information. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
4. Click Add Role and select District or a specific school
5. Search for and select permission groups for each role or manually select individualized permissions. When applying permissions, please note the following:
   • Users cannot have permission groups and individualized permissions simultaneously
   • If the permission is being added on a district role, it will automatically be applied at the school level as well. This is indicated on the school role with a light gray icon used at the district level.
6. Save
