Understanding EdReady Permissions

This article contains the following information:

Permissions for Admin Users

There are three settings that determine what each Admin User (non-student) can see and do in EdReady: 

  1. Role: determines the pages in EdReady the user can access and what they have permission to do there. For example: can the user access the Students list? Once there, do they have viewing, editing, and/or deleting rights? More info about roles here.
  2. Subject/ Goal: by default, all users have access to see student work in the Texas College Bridge Math and English study paths. If a user has only math or English assigned (more info HERE), then they will only see the study paths for that subject.
    • If a user has only one goal/ subject assigned, the user will only see the students that are already signed up to study that subject. It also simplify their view in the reports, giving them access to only the subject of interest.
    • A user who can only see 1 subject will not be able to see any students who are not already studying that subject, and so will not be able to add any subjects to the students' account. 
  3. Assigned Categories (School and/or Class Section): the Categories that are assigned (or lack of assignment), determines the specific data/ users the account can see on the pages their Role allows them to access.
    • Categories are primarily used to limit a user's access to a specific subset of students in their ISD. More information on assigning Categories to Admin Users HERE.
    • IMPORTANT: If no category value is assigned, the user will see data aligned with ALL categories. For example: if a user has no School assigned, they will see students/ data across all schools in the ISD.

Note: in order for a user to have access to a student's data where a category match exists, the student must just have any assigned section applied to their account. For example: if a teacher has the following sections assigned: "Jones 1st Period" and "Jones, 4th Period," they will be able to see students who are in either class section. 

 

Student Impact of Categories

We recommend that students update their accounts to indicate their school and class section(s), but this is not required for student use of EdReady. Students will be able to use EdReady with no assignments, but their teacher may not have access to see them in the reports until the student's account has been updated with the appropriate school and/or class section.
