Staff will not be able to use Illuminate report cards unless they have been given permission (links, access, etc.) to do so. Your District's Illuminate administrator can manage permissions (e.g., what users can access and do in the Illuminate system). This lesson will show how to manage report card permissions by role, but you may easily opt to complete the lesson for a site or user.
Where to Start
- Click on the Admin Gear.
- Under Users, click Permissions.
- Select Grades as the Module.
- Select a Scope: Site, Role (i.e. Teacher, Admin, etc.), Site & Role, or User.
