Add School Admin for Each School in the District
- Last updated on December 18, 2020 at 8:49 AM
Publishers and district admins can add school admins, after the school is created. At least one school admin must be added for each school. The school admin is in charge of rostering school users, class creation and license distribution to the teachers in the school. Publishers and district admins can also perform these tasks on behalf of the school admin. Click here to learn more about the role of a school admin.
Follow the below steps to add school admin in a school:
1. Log in to the portal.
2. Click the "School Menu" on the left-hand side menu.
3. Click the "School Admin" in the sub-menu.
4. Click the "Add Admin" button.
You will be redirected to the "School Admin Registration" page.
6. Select the "School District" radio button, to add the school admin in a school district.
7. Select the district from the "District" drop-down list.
8. Select the school in which you want to add the school admin, from the "School" drop-down list.
(If the school is not found in the list, you can add the school by clicking on the "Add School" button.)
7. Check the "Set as Primary Admin" checkbox, if you want to set the school admin as the "Primary Admin." The checkbox will be checked by default if you are adding the school admin in the school for the first time.
Note: The platform allows you to create more than one school admin for a school. However, out of all these school admins, only one is selected as the “Primary Admin.” This primary admin shares the same roles and responsibilities as the other school admins and can perform the same task. The only difference is that the license creation auto-generated email, containing the PO details, will only be sent to the primary admin, when the license is created by the Publisher.
8. Enter the following details:
- Select the "Title" from the drop-down list.
- Enter the first name, last name, telephone number, email address/username, password, and confirm password.
Note: A district admin can also serve as a school's admin, If you choose to add yourself as the school admin for each school, you may enter a fake email address, since you'll likely be using your district admin account for all admin purposes. If your school admin is someone other than you, the email address must be valid.
- Select the language from the "Assign Language" drop-down. The language here refers to the assessment language. The school admin will be able to access the assessment in a particular language, as selected from the drop-down list.
(Note: All the * marked fields are mandatory, the rest of the fields are optional and can be left as is. The password must be unique and between 6-20 characters.)
9. Check the box for "Send email to the user" if you wish to send an email to the school admin with their username, password, and helpful instructions.
10. Click the "Save" button.
The school admin will be added and listed on the "Manage School Admin" page.
