Each resource in SchoolSpeak is governed by a set of resource permissions.  Permissions refer to the ability of a member to view, edit and manage a resource. As you create a new resource, you have the option to customize who may view, modify and manage that resource. There are three levels of permission:

  • View - Limit the announcements to read-only mode to the users/groups in the view list.
  • Edit -  Add members who can post/edit the resource content
  • Admin - Add members who can operate this page, i.e. modify the resource permission list.

When a resource is added, the admin list includes any group administrators.  By default, system administrators have access to all the resources.

To check or modify the resource permissions

* If a parent or student is added to Edit or Admin permission, a warning will pop up to confirm the access level is wanted.
