Staff roles and permissions

4 min read

A role is a set of permissions. Each person on your team has one role.

Built-in roles

  • Owner: everything, including billing and the team.
  • Admin: runs the institute day to day: students, content, prices and orders.
  • Teacher: marking and the content they look after.
  • Student: uses your app. Students never see the admin.

You can change what the Admin and Teacher roles may do, but you cannot rename or delete the built-in roles, and the Owner and Student roles are fixed.

Your own roles

Open Roles in your admin to make a role such as "Content editor" or "Front desk", and tick the permissions it needs, such as edit content, manage prices, view orders or mark answers.

The one rule

Nobody can hand out a permission they do not have themselves. An admin cannot make someone an owner.

Every change to a role is recorded in Activity.
