User Roles and Permissions

Understand the different roles in Skoolia and what each user can access.

1

Owner

Full control over the organization. Manages billing, subscription, all settings, and user accounts. Only one owner per organization. The owner can assign admin rights to other staff members.

2

Admin

Comprehensive organization management across all modules. Can manage students, classes, staff, finance, and settings. Cannot change billing or subscription plans.

3

Registrar

Focused on student enrollment and academic records. Can add, edit, and manage student profiles, handle class assignments, and process enrollment paperwork.

4

Accountant

Handles all financial operations including fee management, invoice creation, expense tracking, and payroll processing. Cannot access academic records or grading.

5

Teacher

Access to assigned classes only. Can mark attendance, create and grade assignments, manage the gradebook, and communicate with parents of their students.

6

Student

Access through the Student Portal. Can view their dashboard, grades, attendance history, assignments, and class timetable. Students are enrolled by the registrar.

7

Tips & Best Practices

  • Assign the minimum role needed for each person's responsibilities.
  • Use the Admin role sparingly — most staff only need Registrar, Accountant, or Teacher access.
  • Parents are automatically linked to their children during the enrollment process.
