Admin Roles and Functionality - summary table (schools with Classlist integration to MIS)

The table below gives a concise summary of the different admin roles available on Classlist at schools where Classlist is integrated with the school's MIS.

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 Admin 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. 

Summary Table of Classlist Admin Access

Please note - for integration schools the school structure, invites and approvals will match to the data on the school system (eg iSAMS), changes should be made there rather than in Classlist.

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, as it doesn't give access to the MIS data. 
Parents can't send direct/private messages to either type of Staff Admins as most schools wish to restrict parents from being able to contact staff that directly, (plus Staff Admins can't access the parent side of Classlist so don't have the private messages feature).

Staff Admin (or Staff Admin 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 existing parent account and set up again as a Staff Admin - but please make sure any current content and Event management rights have been handed over to someone else first.

If you have any questions or for more help with this please contact us by creating a help ticket.
