Admin Roles and Functionality - summary table

The table below gives a concise summary of the different admin roles available on Classlist.

The founding member of a school's Classlist page is assigned as either an Ambassador (if they said they were a parent or PTA member when they created the school account), or as a Staff Admin Plus (if they said they were a school leader).

Parent admins and staff admins

Ambassadors and Staff Admin plus accounts can assign admin status to parent members. They can also invite staff to join using the separate staff invite.

• Ambassador, Class Rep and/or Community rep status can be assigned to any parent with an account.
• Staff Admin and Staff Admin Plus status can be granted to staff (as long as their email isn't already in use for a parent account).

It is recommended that you get your admin team familiar with the platform and active straight away as they will help greatly with managing the site.

Staff Admin Accounts

NB: Staff Admin Plus is more suited to a school leader or data administrator while Staff Admin may suit teachers or trip leaders. Parents can't send direct messages to either type of Staff Admins and Staff Admins can't access the parent side of Classlist.

Staff Admin (or plus) accounts can't be set up using the same email address that is already used for a parent account and vice versa. You have 2 options in this case:

• Use a different email address
• Delete the account and set up again - please make sure any current content has been handed over first.
