Learn how to edit staff roles and permissions.

Updated over a month ago

School admins can customize the roles and permission levels for staff using TalkingPoints. Follow the steps below to adjust permissions.

Please Note: If staff is shared through Clever, ClassLink, or TalkingPoints Connector, a staff member's role can be added within TalkingPoints. Any role from Clever, ClassLink, or TalkingPoints Connector cannot be removed within TalkingPoints as it would be readded during the nightly sync.

Screenshots below may look slightly different as TalkingPoints is constantly evolving! Don't worry, we periodically make sure our guides are up-to-date so that you have the latest how-to's.


Step 1: Click on the 'Staff' tab.

Step 2: Search for + select the staff member for whom you would like to adjust permissions. Select 'Edit Role.'

Step 3: In the Roles section, click on 'Edit Roles.'


Step 4: Check the appropriate roles and then click 'Save.'

School admins may see custom roles that they can assign to staff members if they are a part of a district-wide setup.
