Whether you need to add a new teacher, update someone's permissions, or make changes to a class, Team management gives you more control over your district's setup.
Accessing Team Management
From the District Dashboard, open Team management to view and manage your district's team members and classes. You'll find two sections:
Team members: Manage teachers, district users, and their access.
Classes: View and manage classes across your district.
Managing Team Members
The Team members section displays active teachers and district users in your district. You can view each user's account access, assigned schools, district permissions, and whether their account was created manually or through a rostering sync.
Adding a New Team Member
To add a teacher or district user:
Open Team management and select Team members.
Click Create user.
Choose the type of access the user needs:
Teacher access: Access to the teacher platform.
District access: Access to the District Dashboard.
Both: Access to both platforms.
Select the schools the user should have access to.
If applicable, assign classes and district features.
Save your changes.
Tip: In districts using rostering sync, selecting All classes allows a teacher to follow or unfollow any class within their assigned schools, including classes synced in the future.
Editing a Team Member's Access
Need to give someone access to another school or update their permissions?
Find the user in Team members.
Open their account.
Update their school access, classes, or district permissions as needed.
Save your changes.
Important: Access assigned through your district's rostering sync cannot be removed directly in Magma Math. These permissions must be updated in your rostering system.
District administrators also cannot change their own account access or roles.
Removing a Team Member
Users created manually in Magma Math can be deleted through Team management.
Users managed through a rostering sync cannot be deleted directly because they would be recreated during the next sync.
To remove a synced user, update their access in your district's rostering system.
Managing Classes
The Classes section allows district administrators to view and manage classes across their assigned schools.
The changes you can make depend on whether a class was created manually or imported through a rostering sync.
Managing Manually Created Classes
For classes created directly in Magma Math, district administrators can:
Rename the class.
Change the grade level.
Add or remove teachers.
Add or remove students.
To make changes, open the class from Team management → Classes, update its information or members, and save.
Managing Synced Classes
For classes imported through a rostering integration, district administrators can:
Change the class grade level.
Add additional teachers.
Hide or unhide the class.
Teachers and students assigned through the sync cannot be removed directly in Magma Math. These changes must be made in the district's rostering system.
Hiding a Synced Class
Sometimes a class appears in Magma Math even though it shouldn't be used.
Instead of requesting that the class be removed, district administrators can hide it. When a class is hidden:
Teachers can no longer access it.
District administrators cannot include it in district assignments.
The class is not deleted and remains visible in Team management.
You can unhide the class whenever needed.
Note: Only synced classes can be hidden. Manually created classes do not have this option.
Understanding Manual and Synced Accounts
Some users and classes are managed directly in Magma Math, while others are connected to your district's rostering system.
| Manual | Synced |
User access | Can be edited | Synced access cannot be removed |
Delete users | Yes | No |
Class teachers | Add or remove | Add additional teachers |
Class students | Add or remove | Managed by sync |
Class grade | Can change | Can change |
Hide classes | No | Yes |
If you see "Managed by sync and can't be removed," that information is controlled by your district's rostering integration.
You can add certain permissions or teachers in Magma Math, but synced information must be removed or updated through the rostering system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I delete a user?
The user is managed through your district's rostering sync. To remove them, update their information in your rostering system.
Why can't I remove a teacher from a class?
If the teacher was assigned through your rostering sync, that assignment must be updated in the rostering system. Teachers added manually can be removed.
Why can't I see certain teachers or classes?
District administrators can only view users and classes within the schools they have access to. If you need to manage additional schools, your district access may need to be updated.
Why can't a teacher see any classes?
If your district uses rostering sync, check the teacher's class access under Team members. You can assign specific classes or select All classes to allow the teacher to follow classes within their assigned schools.
Will hiding a class delete it?
No! Hiding a synced class only removes it from teacher access and district assignment selection. The class remains available in Team management and can be unhidden at any time.
