Roles and permissions - school level | PowerSchool Learning and Engagement

School-level roles don’t have assigned permissions but are granted specific functions within the application, as outlined in the following tables.

Guardians and students are not granted any specific functions.
The system administrator, site admin, principal, and office staff roles are considered equivalent to a school-level administrator.
Unmapped school employees (staff members) are assigned the role of Staff. There is no role in role mapping for Staff, and it is assigned automatically to unmapped employees. This is different from Office staff, which is a specific, mapped role. Staff role members can read the newsfeed and receive calendar events, but cannot post newsfeed or create events. They can also use receive and reply to messages but cannot initiate new conversations.
