Authorising Teachers

Teacher is a Role in the Online Classroom.

A User with the Teacher role can:

  • View and Edit the content of all Subjects in the Language(s) he/she is assigned to
  • View and Edit Grades of the Students studying those Subjects
  • View, Download or Print the Certificates achieved by those Students
  • View Profiles of those Students

Important

The Teacher is a powerful Role. Be sure to authorise the right people to be Teachers in your Online Classroom.

Non-Editing Teacher is also a Role in the Online Classroom. The Non-Editing Teacher role has less privileges compared to a Teacher.

A User with the Non-Editing Teacher role can:

  • View the content of all Subjects in the Language(s) he/she is assigned to
  • View Grades of the Students studying those Subjects
  • View, Download or Print the Certificates achieved by those Students
  • View Profiles of those Students

Important

The Non-Editing Teacher is also a powerful Role. Be sure to authorise the right people to be Non-Editing Teachers in your Online Classroom.
