How do I manage and change user permissions?
- Viewer - Restricted Access, can only view certain items and sections
- Teacher - Can see most things, participate and do day to day tasks. Your "standard" type user.
- Executive - A power user. Has access to the administration screens and reports, but may not be able to see or edit everything.
- Administrator - The "super" user.
Important to Note
This requires Sentral Administrator access
To change the site wide access level for a user, go to
- Sentral Setup Cog > Manager User Accounts
- In the drop down box under the Access Level heading, change it to the required value, eg from Viewer to Teacher.
- Click on Save
- Sentral Setup Cog > Manager User Accounts > Manage Permissions
- This will display the Access Levels for the selected module.
- You can change the module you wish to access from the drop down box at the top, labelled Modify Access Levels for:
- Levels can be set to either None or Allow, or
- None, View, Edit
- Once done changing the Access Levels for the module > Save.
You can also adjust the level of access a user has at the module level, as opposed to site wide.
For example, a Year Coordinator may require Executive access to Wellbeing, but only standard Teacher access elsewhere.
To change an individual users permissions by module, go to
- Sentral Setup Cog > Manager User Accounts > Access button next to the user in question.
- In the drop down box next to the particular module, eg Wellbeing, select the new Level, eg Executive.
- Hit Save
Using Local Groups, you can set all user access to 'No Access' for application X. *
This is done by going to:
- Sentral Setup Cog > Manage User Accounts > Manage Groups > Local Groups
- Create New Group
- Add Users to these groups
By default, the group has a Default Access Level of 'No Access'. This is fine, as a User's highest Default Access Level will always apply - eg. if they are by Default a Teacher User within the Manage User Accounts list, then this will override the Group Access default level of 'No Access'.
To achieve your requirement of no access to the app, click on 'Edit' against the 'App X - No Access' group. You'll see here that i have set the access level for 'App X' specifically to 'No Access'. This will override any user permission that has '(use default)' against the Application - this is referred to as the 'Per-Application Access Level' and will always override a '(use default)' access level setting, whether it be applied to Groups or per-User within the Manage User Accounts list.
