SchoolAI uses three primary roles to manage access and permissions within an organization. Whether you are adding users manually or syncing through a roster, every person will be assigned one of three roles: Admin, Teacher, or Student.
Admin
Admins have the highest level of access. They are responsible for managing the organization’s high-level settings.
Key Permissions: Invite new teachers, manage organization-wide settings (including LMS API integrations), and access Usage Reports to see how SchoolAI is being used across the district or school.
Teacher
The "Teacher" role is the standard role for educators and staff.
Key Permissions: Create and launch Spaces, use the Discover library, and monitor student progress in real-time via Mission Control.
Note: In some technical areas of the site, this may simply be referred to as a "User."
Student
Students have a streamlined experience focused entirely on learning.
Key Permissions: Join Spaces via invite links or codes and interact with AI-powered activities. Students do not have the ability to create their own Spaces or view the progress of others.
How Rostering Works (SIS Integration)
If your school uses a Student Information System (SIS) to automatically create accounts, SchoolAI takes the roles provided by your system (like Aide, Proctor, or Administrator) and maps them to our three roles above.
During your organization's setup, we work with your IT team to ensure everyone gets the right level of access based on their job title. For example:
Staff and Aides are typically mapped to the Teacher role.
District Staff are typically mapped to the Admin role.
