About Permissions Groups:

• Permission groups are controlled at the district level. 
• The only functionality available at the school level is the assigning of teachers and parents to groups. 
• Any school linked to the District later will be allocated the same default permission groups and permissions seeded to them on creation.
• A user may only belong to one permission group for their role per school.
• Admins can create separate permission groups for Teachers and Parents.
• Admins can add Teachers or Parents to different Permission Groups

Note: If the school is not attached to a District the school admin will be able to manage the permission groups.
