Customize one user's access with an override

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 6 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to customize one user's access with an override

1Click Users under Administration in the sidebar
2Find the user, open the actions menu at the end of their row, and click Access (shown for teachers and staff, not school admins)
3The "Access override" dialog lists every permission with their role's defaults already ticked
4Scroll to the permission to change, for example Check books out / in under Library
5Tick a permission to grant an extra, such as Check books out / in, and untick a default to deny it, such as View calendar
6Click "Save access" — a "Customized" badge appears next to their role in the table

Configure the school once — branding, years and terms, classes, staff, roles — then let the June rollover wizard carry it all into the new year.
