User Roles in the DESSA System Educator Portal

Overview

This article and the attached PDF provide information on the different roles in the DESSA System Educator Portal and how to request a change to/or addition of the Program Administrator role on an account when necessary.

 

System Roles

Program Administrator

A Program Administrator has access to manage all sites, staff, and students in the program's DESSA System. Program Administrator accounts are created by the DESSA Technical Support Team. 

To change or add Program Administrators, a current Program Administrator or an executive/administrator within your organization will need to submit a request to our DESSA Technical Support Team. Select Submit a Request in the top-right corner. In the request, please include the full name and email address of the Program Administrator.

Our team will then update the account and provide the new Program Administrators with an invitation to create their account for the DESSA System.

 

Site Leader

Site Leaders can access all students and staff at a specific site or at multiple sites. Typically, Site Leaders are in an administrative or support role within the school or organization. Changes to Site Leaders are managed by Program Administrators.

 

Educator

Educators can access their students and serve as the primary raters for students. Often, ratings will be assigned to educators to complete on their students. However, they may choose to rate other students who are enrolled in their classes.

Please refer to the User Role PDF below for a list of the various permissions for each role.
