Adding a User to a Parent Permission Group

Permission groups in Mobile Guardian are primarily managed at the district level. However, schools can assign teachers and parents to these pre-defined groups. When a school is linked to a district, it automatically inherits the default permission groups and settings established by the district.

Key Points:

• District-Level Control: Permission groups are set up and controlled at the district level. Schools cannot modify these groups but can assign users to them.
• Single Group Assignment: A user can only belong to one permission group per role within each school.
• Default Assignment: New users are automatically assigned to a default permission group upon creation. Administrators can later reassign them to a different group if needed.

Steps to Assign a Parent to a Permission Group:

• Navigate to User Management:
  • Go to the User Management section within the Mobile Guardian dashboard.
  • Select the "Parent Permissions" tab. This will display a list of available permission groups for parents.

• Add Parent to a Group:
  • Click the three-dot menu (kebab) next to the relevant permission group and select the "Add Parent" option.

• Search and Add the Parent:
  • Enter the parent’s name in the search field, select the correct name, and click the "+" symbol. Then, confirm by clicking "Add Parent."

• Review Assigned Permissions:
  • The parent will now be linked to the selected group. You can view the assigned permissions by selecting the "Parents" tab on the top right.

By following these steps, administrators can efficiently manage parent permissions within their school, ensuring that users are assigned to the appropriate groups as determined by district policies.
