User Management Overview

From EDgearWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

This program will provide the user a way to Create and Edit logins and passwords for new users in your district.

  • Standard permissions can be created for groups of users such as teachers, counselors, school administrators, and district administrators by using the Profile Template Editor. After selecting a Profile for a user, you may add or remove permissions per user.
  • There is an audit when updating the school, to determine if the user has an active contract. If they do not have an active contract for that school in HR, then a warning is displayed.
  • Passwords cannot contain single and double quotes. These quotes are located to the left of the Enter key on a standard keyboard.

Menu Location

System > Entry > User Management

Setup Options

Select the School or Schools for which new user names are needed.

Select the Profile to view. This will limit the list of persons based on their profile. For example, entering SE would limit the list to secretaries. More than one Profile may be chosen. Leaving the field blank will select all Profiles.

  • If the district does not have Profiles assigned yet, use the "Object Code" filter. For example, if it needs to be filtered by teacher , then use the Object Code of 112.

Select the Object Code. This will limit the list of persons based on contract records that exist in Human Resources and their position at the school. For example teachers would have an object code of 112, administrators would have an object code of 111.

If you check the Include Master Schedule option, employees found in the master schedule that do not have a Human Resource contract record will also be included in the list.

Show Only Active Users - Select to hide inactive users as marked in User Management in the Inactive column.

Select one of the items. Your selection will determine how the system will generate/create user names.

Staff ID (School Number + Last 6 of Staff ID)
Staff ID (Last Two of School Number + Last 4 of Staff ID)
Name (1st initial of Given + Surname--Recommended)
Name (1st initial of Given + Surname--Lowercase)
Name (1st initial of Given & Middle + Surname--Lowercase)
Name (First Name, Last Name - Lowercased)

OK - Click to continue.

Column Headers

Search - Only the first character matching the key clicked on the keyboard is used to find the matching value for the last column header clicked in the grid. Use the input box to incrementally search for a value.

District - District

School - School

Staff Name - Name of persons to which users and passwords have been assigned

Staff ID - Local ID assigned through the Human Resources database

Login - User assigned login

Password - User assigned password

Profile - User assigned profile

Category - Application level where permissions are required

C-Perm - Category level permission

Action (column, not button) - Specific actions related to selected program such as restricting a user from seeing a student's social security number. This requires a Program to be in the Program cell for the user. Click in the Action cell and the box below will appear for more options.

A Perm - Action level permission

Inactive - Check to inactivate users and deny them login access. Once activated and after the user types in their user name/password and then clicks on the Login, it will pop up a message of "Your Account is Inactive". Inactivating in User Management is not year specific so, if chosen, the user will be denied access for all years; previous, current and next school year.

  • Separation - Click inside the box for separation information. Add a date that the staff member is terminating employment. This is similar to a leave date for students in Student Master except that PEP defines the end date as the last day an employee is assigned work. Student leave dates are the day after their last day of attendance at the school.

Exempt for 2FA - Select to exempt a single user account from the Two Factor Authentication process. If the user selects one box, then all boxes for that user will be automatically checked.

Sites - Provides a method of creating a single user name/password for itinerant teachers to have access to multiple sites.

Created - Computer generated date and time that the record(s) were created.

Changed - Computer generated date and time that the record(s) were changed. NOTE that deletions will not show up in the Changed column of User Management. See the Delete Log List for that information.

Last Login - Computer generated date and time of the last time this user logged in to this portion of JCampus.

Q & A

Q - Is there a way to restrict teacher access to JCampus during our scheduling window? We don’t want teachers to be able to login and see their schedules until scheduling is complete. A - In System > Entry > User Management, the Inactive column would deny the staff from logging into JCampus as a whole. In Grades > Loaders > Grading Period Lock you can deny them from Classroom gradebook with the Deny column.
