What are the default role types?
A new Hero site has two pre-configured role types: Teacher & System Administrator (aka School Admin).
Default Teacher Privileges | Default System Administrator Privileges |
|
|
Custom Role Types
The default roles of teacher and System Administrator fit many needs; however, you are likely to need additional role types at your site. This can be accomplished with custom role types.
Note: We recommend creating custom role types for a user with specific needs, rather than changing user permissions/privileges on a case-by-case basis. |
How to Create a Custom Role Type
To create a custom role type, go to Config > Roles. Click the blue + Role button in the upper right corner.
On the Role Creator page, you will add:
- Role Name
- School
- User Type: Select from the dropdown list the type that best matches this user. For example, if this role will be for a teacher who needs additional privileges, select "teacher" and then configure the additional privileges below).
In the lower section of the screen, you will find privilege options. Click the checkbox next to the option if you want to ENABLE it for this role type. Click save.
Privileges Overview
Configuration privileges are typically assigned to staff members who will be managing parts of the Hero site and/or need to make larger changes that will impact all users.
Note: If a user has the privilege enabled to "Manage Role," they create and assign custom roles with any privileges in this list. This privilege should be intentionally assigned to users. |
Reports privileges are typically assigned to users who may benefit from viewing the Daily Activity Report, but also assigned to users who will be complying Reactions on the Compliance Report. For example, if a staff member manages Detention, they will need access to the Compliance Report to mark detention as "Complied."
The Student Groups Privileges section has two distinct components: Viewing Student Groups and Managing Student Groups. The default Teacher role can view Student Groups, but cannot manage them. The managing Student Groups privilege allows a user to change rosters or custom Student Groups and should be intentionally assigned to staff members.
The Students Privileges section also has two components: Behavior Tracking & Students settings. The Behavior Tracking setting includes: Tracking Behavior, Editing Tracked Behavior, and Deleting Tracked Behavior. Typically, teacher users are enabled to track behavior and edit tracked behavior, but not delete tracked behaviors.
The Students component allows a user to manage Student users, is enabled. This privilege should be intentionally assigned to administrative-level users.
