Page-Level Permissions
To define each user group's access to individual pages within PowerSchool, use the page permissions function. The Modify Access Privileges for this Page link appears on every page when the page permissions are activated.
By clicking the link, you can define the access level for only that page (None, View Only, View and Modify) for each user group. If you do not define the page-level access for each group, the system uses the default access level you originally defined for the group on the Edit Group page. For more information, see Edit a Staff Member Security Settings.
After defining the access level for every group on every page, return to this page to deactivate the page permissions function.
