User Access Levels

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), schools have full control over who can access various elements of the system.

NB: It is important that all schools regularly review staff access and update/amend it accordingly.

Access Admin role

In order to give schools complete control, the UAL of Access Admin has been created.

Access Admin level users have the ability to set further restrictions or grant permissions for individual users. Navigate to Admin > Access control to make changes.

By default, each User Access Level has the following permissions and restrictions applied. These can be updated by an Access Admin user for individual users. 

Due the the unrestricted nature of this UAL, Horizons recommends that Access Admin should be limited to as few members of staff as possible.
