How do permissions work?

Permissions at their core can be broken down into two fundamental aspects: the users and the actions available to them. With this in mind, you can configure various combinations of permissions to effectively manage who, what and when actions can be performed on your form.

Users

There are two types of users to keep in mind when managing permissions, the main user, and the user they are performing actions for. You can choose from the following user types when setting up permissions:

  • Staff

  • Guardian

  • Student

Info

Note: For examples on various user combinations, please visit the Examples section below.

Basic Actions

There a couple actions available for selection when a permission is created. These give you basic control over what your selected users can do with a given form.
