Modifying Access

School admin account holders automatically have access to all school and student reports in their own school. Access to additional reports can be assigned, including LEA/district reports, school reports for other schools, and student reports for other schools. When you choose a school in the Available Schools list, the user will be able to view all school reports for that school. To also grant access to student reports at the selected schools, check the box below the list of schools in the Assigned Additional Access list.

Additionally, some access can be assigned only by the district admin, such as access to export data and to teacher reports. LEA/District users with the account management permission cannot see or manage the accounts of other LEA/district users with the account management permission.
