SchoolInsight admin accounts provide access to student information for administrative staff. This typically includes but is not limited to superintendents, principals, secretaries, nurses, counselors, and so forth. When a person with a district or school admin account is no longer employed or that person moves to another position that does not require access to SchoolInsight, the best thing to do is to deactivate the person’s admin account. Deactivating an account disables the account login and reduces the number of licenses used.
Only admins with the modify admin permission at the school and district level can deactivate school district accounts respectively. In addition, school admins are restricted to modifying accounts in their same school.
To deactivate an admin account:
- Go To Main > Admins
- Hover over the desired admin and select the Edit (
) icon
- Select the three dots next to roles location
- Make Inactive
- Save
You can also deactivate many roles at once using the mass edit option.
To deactivate many admin:
- Go To Main > Admins
- Mass Edit
- Set Active to No
- Select the admins whose roles you wish to deactivate
- Save
If there is another person who will be continuing in the role of the person who left, create a new district admin or school admin account for that person.
Note that deleting accounts and changing names and email addresses on accounts is never a good practice. Our recommendation for accounts that are no longer needed is to mark them inactive instead of deleting and to create new district admin and school admin accounts when needed.
