Admin permissions

Each staff member only sees the pages they need. You give staff permissions on the Admin Users page, or give them to a whole group of staff on the Admin Groups page. A staff member gets every permission given to them directly plus every permission given to any admin group they are in.

Permissions and what they unlock​

PermissionPages it unlocks
Global AdministratorEverything, including all Settings pages.

Everyone can see the Dashboard.

tip

Give people the smallest set of permissions they need. For example, most teachers only need Teacher Request Reviewer.

Some pages also depend on your school's plan​

A few menus only appear when a feature is turned on for your school, whatever your permissions are:

If you think a feature should be turned on, contact AuthCop support.

When permission changes take effect​

A staff member may need to sign out of the admin portal and sign in again before new permissions show up.
