Manage administrators
The Administrators screen is the filtered view of the users who hold the administrator role (see the role table in Users and roles). This role gives access to the school's configuration operations: users, timetables, absences, settings, imports, exports and publication.
Create an administrator
Use Add an administrator from the list. The form is the same one used for users:
- first name and last name;
- gender;
- email and phone, if relevant;
- external identifier / personnel number, if the institution uses one;
- login generated according to the account settings;
- administrator role;
- comment.
The created account already has a login identifier. To activate the person's access, open their record in the user list: you can set a password (Password), send them an email (Send email) and activate or deactivate the account (Activate). Signing in through an identity provider (SSO) is another option, see OIDC / SSO.
Combine several roles
The same account can hold several roles. A coordinator can be both a teacher and an administrator: they keep their teacher portal and also access the administration screens.
Custom roles can limit an administrator to a narrower scope. Without a custom role, the administrator role remains global.
Remove administrator access
To remove administration rights, edit the account and remove the administrator role. Avoid creating a second account for the same person unless a real constraint requires it: combining roles on a single user is designed for this case.
Always keep at least one working administrator account before changing the rights of the other administrators.
How-to
Create an administrator
-
Open Administrators.

Click Add an administrator.

Save. You must enter your administrator password to confirm any creation or modification of an administrator account, as a security measure.

If needed, select the account in the list to set its password, send an email or activate / deactivate access, depending on your deployment approach.
