Configure Schoolnet Roles for Schoolnet
Using Schoolnet roles, you can control the level of access given to PowerSchool users who access Schoolnet from within the PowerSchool SIS Admin portal and the PowerSchool SIS Teacher portal. By default, there are four predefined Schoolnet staff level roles that you can assign to PowerSchool users: Employee, Leadership, Staff, and Teacher. These roles should not be edited or deleted. In addition, you can create as many other roles as needed based on your district's needs.
