School Manager has a number of different roles you can assign to users that grant access to a different set of features, functions, and data in School Manager. Several roles also allow access to Classwize if your teachers are using it to manage online content and devices in their classrooms. You can also add multiple roles to a single user to give them access to a combination of functions.
Warning
You should only give your users the most limited role(s) that will meet their needs for access. Only grant Owner / Global Administrator and other high-access roles to the people who need it.
