[VIDEO] Set User Permissions

User permissions and user roles allow you to control who on your staff can access certain information. KidKare comes with a standard set of user roles that include the following: 

  • Director
  • Administrator
  • Teacher
  • Nutrition

Each user role is a combination of certain permissions settings that you can customize. If you customize one of the existing user roles, the word -Custom is added to the end of the role to designate that you have edited the permissions for that role. For example, if you customize the permissions for the Teacher role, the role becomes Teacher - Custom. You can also add new user roles that you can then assign to new and existing users.

Required Permissions: You must have the Staff permission enabled on your account to modify user roles.
