Administrators can manage account permissions to control access to student results.
Typically, each school will have 1-2 assigned Administrators, the highest level of access, allowing these selected individuals to both manage all user permission levels and view all user results.
This article provides instructions on possible user management actions available for site Administrators only.
Schools can have an unlimited number of Faculty/Staff level users who cannot manage access levels but can view student assessment results.
Finally, schools can have an unlimited number of Users (or Students). The standard user-level permission means these individuals can only see their own results and manage their own account.

Access the Manage Users Interface
As an Administrator, you can access the user management page by clicking on your name in the top right corner and selecting "Manage Users" from the dropdown options. If you do not see Manage Users, you may need to first switch to Admin/Counselor view (see below).
A Faculty/Staff member's dropdown menu will not include the "Manage Users" option. It will include an option for you to toggle back and forth between Student and Counselor views.
Similarly, a User account dropdown menu will only include the option for them to logout and manage their own profile and account settings.
If you do not see the Manage Users option, this means you are not currently a site administrator and will need to contact us to make a permissions change.

Manually Create New Accounts
-
Create a new account, specifying the access level, name, email, and password for the account.
If you would like to bypass the email confirmation step included in the invite new user process above, you can choose to manually create an account using the following steps.
-
From the Manage Users page, select ADD NEW from the upper right corner.
-
Within the pop-up window, change the default selection from Invite User to Manually Add User.

When finished, select Add User.
-
Please note that when using the Manually Add User feature, the user will not receive an email confirming their account. They simply need to log in to your site with the email and password that you just specified for their account. They will automatically have the proper access levels upon logging in.
