Understanding User Permissions in Mobile Guardian

Permissions in Mobile Guardian are designed to allow schools to grant Teachers and Parents the ability to manage classes and child devices. Below, we’ll cover the basics of User Permissions, including how they are structured and how to assign them.

What You’ll Learn:

• An Overview of Mobile Guardian’s User Permissions
• Information about Permission Groups, Categories, and other management methods
• How to grant teachers and parents access to User Permissions

#Note: A Classroom Management subscription is required for teacher permissions, which are available through our Learn and Campus solutions.

About Permission Groups

• Controlled at the District Level: Permission groups are managed at the district level. Schools can assign teachers and parents to these groups but cannot modify the groups themselves.
• Default Permissions: Schools that join a district later will inherit the district’s default permission groups and settings.
• Role-Specific Groups: A user can only belong to one permission group per role per school. Separate groups can be created for teachers and parents.
• School Admin Management: If a school is not linked to a district, the school admin can manage permission groups.

You can find Teacher and Parent Permissions under the User Management section.

Default Permission Groups

Default permission groups are pre-configured for quick use by district and school administrators. Each group contains specific categories with permissions tailored to the role of the teacher or parent.
