Manage the Access of All Users to the SchoolFront System
Administrator users in SchoolFront are responsible for granting all other users (teachers, staff, students, and student family members) access to the system. At times you may also need to remove the access of a user. Users in all school staff roles may at times be interested to see the login history of a user.
Grant Users Access to the SchoolFront System
Enable and Disable User Access to the SchoolFront System
You can easily disable a user’s access to SchoolFront without deleting the user profile or any information about the user. If user access is required again in the future, you can easily re-enable it without re-entry of user information.
There are many situations in which disabling a user’s access to SchoolFront is required. Some examples include:
-
A student transfers out of the school mid-year and you do not want them logging in anymore.
-
A custodial parent/guardian wishes to deny the child’s other non-custodial parent/guardian access to the child’s school records following a divorce.
-
A teacher leaves the school mid-year and you do not want them logging in anymore.
Disabled users can be re-enabled without re-entry of user data which saves time for school administrative staff.
