Setting up user accounts
Typically, a District Administrator can change, delete, and add user accounts. The District Administrator also has the option of rendering a user account temporarily inactive [>>], which prevents the user from using the system but maintains the account.
Note: If your system employs a directory service, you can use it to add or delete users. Your district may also have configured the directory service so that it controls the following settings: First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Email Address, Home Phone Number, and Work Phone Number.
Within an account, you can adjust the account name, contact information, password, and the roles assigned. Note: An inactive role does not receive alerts to which that role is subscribed [>>].
An administrator can deactivate a role across the system [>>]. You can add or remove roles from a user account.
