The user permissions a person has are usually based on that person's permission group in Renaissance. When a person is added to Renaissance, that person is placed in one of six permission groups:
- District Level Administrator
- District Dashboard Owner (Note: This is a permissions group created by Renaissance that focuses solely on reporting. See the table of user permissions to see which ones this permissions group has by default.)
- District Staff
- School Level Administrator
- School Staff
- Teacher
If necessary, a district level administrator can make the following adjustments:
- Edit the user permissions for an individual. This is the most granular type of customization, allowing you to choose exactly which tasks a person can and cannot do in Renaissance.
- Edit the user permissions for a permission group. This is a broader brush: it gives/takes user permissions from everyone in a specific permission group.
-
Change a person's permission group. If someone needs user permissions that are more in line with a different permission group, consider changing that person's permission group.
For example, imagine a person at your school who spends half the day teaching math classes (teacher) and the other half as an intervention specialist (school level administrator). Since there are no permissions that a teacher has that a school level administrator doesn't have, it might make sense to put this person in the school level administrator permission group (and then fine-tune any individual user permissions, if necessary).
