TalkingPoints offers a flexible set of base roles partners can use “out-of-the-box”. Base roles come with a set of pre-defined permissions. Partners cannot change these permissions.
Permissions: control access to functionality within a specific level of the platform. Permissions are bundled into “roles” and control the sum of functionality a staff member can access within that product level
Roles: variable collections of permissions that grant users access to specific functionality within the TalkingPoints platform. Roles can be assigned to staff to contol their level of access to TalkingPoints (teacher-level, school-level, district-level)
Holding a role with permissions at the District Level grants a user access to the district product and functionality within the district product. To access the school-level and school-level functionality, a user must also hold a school-level role and so on.
Base roles don't fit your needs? See our article on creating a custom role.
