Roles determine the type of account assigned to each user. By default, organizations have four roles:
-
Student
-
Teacher
-
Administrator
-
Parent
Use roles to control which features users can access. For example, you can create a role with limited permissions for a specific group of instructors.
-
Each user can have only one role.
-
If your organization syncs users from an SIS, contact your Schoology representative before creating custom roles. SIS syncs may overwrite custom Schoology roles.
Faculty members
Faculty members are users assigned to a role with the Faculty flag enabled.
Typically, Administrator and Teacher roles are faculty roles, while Student and Parent roles are not.
Faculty users can:
-
Receive Schoology messages (if permitted)
-
Access Public Resources
-
Access the App Center
-
Connect with other users
Every role is either Faculty or Non-Faculty.
