Add a staff user and choose their role
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 9 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to add a staff user and choose their role
- 1Go to Users in the Administration section of the sidebar
- 2Click Add user (adding a teacher on the Teachers page does not create a login — this is where accounts are made)
- 3Enter Email, First name, and Last name
- 4Pick a Base role — School Admin (full access), Teacher (own classes), or Staff (use a custom role); Teacher also creates a teaching profile
- 5Optionally pick a Custom role to use its permissions instead of the base role's
- 6On multi-campus schools, choose a campus or 'All campuses (district)'
- 7Optionally tick Can conduct admissions interviews so the person appears in the interviewer list on an applicant
- 8Click Add user — the person appears in the table with their access badges and a Can see summary
- 9Creating the account sends nothing: the Sign-in column reads Not invited until you click Invite, which emails them a sign-in link
Part of School setup & the year cycle
Configure the school once — branding, years and terms, classes, staff, roles — then let the June rollover wizard carry it all into the new year.
