Updating User Permissions

Need to change user types for certain staff members on Clipboard? Find out how this can be completed below.

Only Admin users can change staff members' User Types.

If you temporarily change your User Type to Manager or Staff, another Admin User at your school will need to change it back.

There are three main User Types on Clipboard:

  • Admin - staff responsible for a whole Department, e.g. Head of Sport, Head of Music.

  • Manager - staff responsible for a whole Activity, e.g. Director of Rugby, Choirmaster.

  • Staff - base-level supervisory staff, e.g. Piano Tutor, Netball Coach.

The User Type determines what information you have access to. An Admin user has full access to the school's information on Clipboard. Manager and Staff users have different levels of restriction over access to information.

As an Admin user, you can change the permissions of any user on Clipboard. For an in-depth view of specific user permissions, check out this document.

To change User Permissions:

  1. Go to Staff List (left sidebar)

  2. Select the User whose permissions you want to change

  3. Click on the Edit/Pencil icon (bottom right corner) in the Basic Details section

  4. Select a different User Type from the dropdown menu, then Save
