User Security Groups

Revised 1/30/2019


In Administrative Utilities|Historical Version – User Security, a security group allows you to assign users that share the same security rights to a group instead of individually assigning their security rights. 


Examples: ._AdministrativeUsers, _General Office Users, _Parent, _Substitute Teachers, _Teachers and _View Only Users..

Security groups must have a _ in front of the group name to identify them as "group" and not "individual" users.  Groups appear at the top of the list.

•     To set the security for each group, click on the group name i.e. _Substitute Teachers so it is highlighted in blue.

•     Check the options to which substitutes SHOULD NOT have access.

•     Uncheck the options to which substitutes SHOULD have access.

•     Save the changes.

Set Up another Security Group

•     If you would like to set up another group, simply create a new user with the name starting with  _. 

•     For example add a new user group _SDS. This creates a new security group to which users can be added.

•     Another example would be a group for coaches. (i.e. _Coaches)
