As a District Administrator, Campus Administrator, or Principal, you may often be asked to respond to the technical needs of your staff within the TEKS Resource System. This may include solving basic user account issues, using some of the online tools provided, as well as making decisions that affect the content your staff can access within the system.
Assisting with some of these technical needs requires specific roles be assigned to your user account. For instance...
- to manage user accounts at your campus, you must have the Campus User Admin role
- to manage user accounts throughout the district, you must have the District User Admin role
- to manage users' access to content, you must have the District Content Admin role
- to add or edit custom district content, you must have the District Content Creator role
- to publish district content for all district users to view, you must have the District Content Admin role
- to review teacher plans/planbooks, you must have the Principal role
- to generate a walkthrough form for classroom observation of members of your staff you must have the Principal role
ATTENTION: Administrators and Principals
These roles are established by the District Administrator and can be easily added to your user account if they are not already assigned.
Read through the User Roles and Permissions section to learn more about the permissions granted for different users of the system. Consult your District Administrator to be sure you have the appropriate roles set up on your user account.
