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 automatically assigned to be an Ambassador; they will be able to assign admin status to other parents or staff.

Ambassador, Class Admin and/or Community rep status can be assigned to any parent with an account, while Staff Admin status can only be granted if someone doesn't have an account. For more information on assigning admin status, please click here.

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.

NB: A non-parent admin (Staff Admin) cannot access the parent side of Classlist. This role is suited to a school leader or administrator for example rather than class teachers.  Parents can not send direct messages to Staff Admins, as they do not appear in the parent member lists.

Staff Admin accounts can't be set up using the same email address that is already used for a parent account and vice versa. It is best to use a different email address, however, if you have to use the same email address you will need to delete your account and set up again - please make sure any current content has been handed over first. For parent/admin accounts an Ambassador of Staff Admin can give you admin status and Ambassadors/Staff Admins have to invite new Staff Admins directly. For more help contact us.
