Review District Users

Here you check your district users, who have district-wide access without admin controls.

What this step asks for

The step lists your active district users. For each, you can:

  • Deactivate them, if they have left the district.
  • Step them down to a School User, if they should only see certain schools. You pick which schools when you do it, and at least one is required. The picker lists every school in your district, including any that have closed, marked (inactive).
  • Grant or remove add-ons, the extra access described below.

Anyone you take no action on stays as they are.

Add-ons

Two extra grants can sit on top of a district or school user's role:

  • Uploader. Can upload data files.
  • Maintenance. Keeps their access when their own user type is locked from the Lock form, and can open the User Access page to lock and unlock the district's user types.

Tick or untick them and update. Changing add-ons does not take the person off the nightly SIS sync, because add-ons are not something the sync manages. Changing their role or their schools does.

Editing schools takes a user off the nightly sync

Stepping someone down to a School User, or changing which schools they see, marks that person as hand-managed so your change sticks. From then on the nightly SIS sync no longer reconciles their access, and it is on you to maintain it. Add-on changes do not have this effect.

Adding someone new

New district users are not added here. Use the Invite a user link.

Not sure something is right?

If you are unsure whether someone should keep district-wide access, leave them and open a Helpdesk Ticket. Stepping someone down is easy to reverse; deactivating them is more disruptive.
