Edited

Understanding how roles work is essential for managing your school's or department's permissions effectively. In this article, we will break down the key components of roles and provide you with helpful tips to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What Are Roles?

Roles in FinalForms are designed to help you manage various aspects of your school or department. They define the following:

Key Components of Roles

  • School or Department: This specifies the building in your district to which the role pertains.

  • Position(s): This indicates the specific roles or jobs that the individual will hold.

  • Title: The official title associated with the role, which helps in identifying the individual's responsibilities.

  • Permissions: These are the access rights granted to the role, determining what actions the individual can perform within the system.

  • Notification Preferences: This allows individuals to set their preferences for receiving updates and alerts.

Important Note on Permissions

⚠️ It is crucial to remember that you should not grant admin permissions to coaches, teachers, or advisors. Assignments to teams or groups alone will provide the proper access they need to perform their duties effectively.

By understanding and managing roles correctly, you can ensure that everyone in your organization has the appropriate access and responsibilities. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out to our Support Team!
