Permission Assigning

    Here is an outline of the different user types along with instructions on how to customise user access permissions.

  • Students: Students are able to access and add themselves to classes, year groups, and simple groups they are a part of. For classes, they can view the summary of unit plans covered in the class, submit work to the assignment/task dropbox, post and view messages and view the class Files and Calendar tabs. See Getting Started with ManageBac as a Student
  • Teachers & Advisors: Teachers are synonymous with Advisors. Both terms are used to reflect commonly used terminology from our schools around the world. Teacher access permissions can be customised via Settings > Security & Permissions. See Getting Started with ManageBac as a Teacher or Advisor
  • Parents: Parents are able to view only select information related to their children. Parents are able to access the Calendar events from the year group & classes that their child is a part of. Parents can view the summary of units being taught in each class as well as view any assignment/task assessments as they are added by the teacher. Parents can see Year Group & Class messages but they cannot respond or add their own messages. The only message board that parents can add to is the IB Parents Association, which is a simple group that can be enabled/disabled via your Settings > School Settings > Academics. See Getting Started with ManageBac as a Parent
  • Observers: The observer role was created to give academic surveyors special access to your school's curriculum planning. Observers have read-only access to all unit plans on your account as well as the Whole School Curriculum. See Getting Started with ManageBac as an Observer
  • Admins: Administrators are able to view and edit everything on your account and are typically the ones doing most of the account setup (e.g. configuring academic terms, importing users, bulk creating classes, generating reports). See Getting Started with ManageBac as an Administrator

    • New users are added via Settings > School Directory > Add User. For guidance on how to add new users individually, click here.
