Course Planner	August 25, 2026	Enhancement	Course Planner permissions update	To simplify administration and improve permission management, Naviance has consolidated and streamlined Course Planner permissions. The new permission structure reduces the permissions required to enable Course Planner and removes the differentiation between district and school permissions. Users will only have the appropriate, available permissions for their role based on their subscription and district or school role level. Existing users with Course Planner permissions were automatically migrated to the appropriate new permissions, and no action is required. This migration ensured that no staff member lost previously available Course Planner permissions, but because the new permissions are more all-encompassing some users may have additional permissions in Course Planner that they didn’t have before. We recommend re-reviewing your district/school’s Course Planner permissions to ensure that the appropriate roles have the correct permissions. Permission structure changes The following permission sections have been removed: District Course Administration Course Recommendations Permissions formerly under District Course Administration and Course Recommendations have been grouped under the Course Administration section, which includes: Manage Course Catalog – Create, edit, and manage the course catalog, including access to the Course Planner-PowerSchool SIS Integration.
