You have the option to create custom roles on the Roles page. Custom roles allow you to give specific administrative level and group level permissions to users. In the case where there are multiple admins in the school and some of them require only limited admin permissions, you can easily solve this by using custom roles. You can give users different combinations of admin and group roles to allow them just the right amount of access to the system to suit your school’s needs.


How to create and assign a custom role

Step 1) Add New Role

You have to go to the Roles page under the Administration. On the Roles page you can see “Add New Role”at the top on the left hand side bar.

Once you click on Add New Role, you have to select which type of custom role you want to create (Administrative or Group) and enter a name for your role.


Step 2) Assign Your Custom Role To Admins And Staff

As soon as your custom Administrative role is created on the roles page it will appear under the Administrative Roles section of the user's profiles in the People section, ready for you to assign to whoever you’d like. And group leader role type starts appearing under the dropdown of the Select role on the classroom page for each staff.


On the staff profile page under Administrative Roles.


For Group Roles, it will appear in the dropdown menus on the classroom/group edit page. For more on how to set up groups, click here.
