👩‍🎓 Managing users

In this article we learn how to manage and edit user details on The EverLearner platform

Why do we need to do this?

In order to update student and/or teacher details and passwords.
To be able to archive teachers and/or students. 

Who can do this?

Admin
HoD
Teacher (a teacher can only edit student details)

What comes before?

Users will need to have been uploaded to the site. See here for how to create student accounts and here for how to create teacher accounts. 

Managing teachers:

See here for managing students.

  1. You must be logged in and be an Admin or HoD.
  2. Choose 'Admin > Users'.
  3. Look for the grey panel with the title 'All Teachers'.
  4. Locate the teacher whose details you wish to edit and click on the three dot menu and choose 'Edit'. Note that a HoD can only edit those teachers or other HoDs in their curriculum area. An admin's details can only be edited by themselves or by The EverLearner team.
  5. Click on 'Edit information'. You can now change the curricula assigned to the teacher and their role, as well as their name, title, email address and password. (Please note that if you change someone's password you will need to notify them of this.)
