Staff Permissions

ALO Staff Permissions

Setting permissions in ALO involves choosing a scope and a permission type. Staff can be added at the scope of District, School or Class. There are three types of permissions that can be set for each staff account:

Manage: Allows a staff member to make changes to students, staff, and other account information at the level indicated (District, School).

View: Allows a staff member to view and enter data at the level indicated.

Assess: Allows a staff member to digitally administer assessments at the level indicated.

The following table lists all of the functions available for each possible combination of scope and permission type.
