Define access levels for the district (Destiny Administrator)

A Destiny Administrator can set up access levels to be managed using any of the following methods:

• Set up initial access levels that can be modified by site-level Administrators (for one, multiple, or all schools in the district).
  
  • Existing sites retain their existing configurations.
    
  • Administrators can assign access levels to patrons, assign or remove any permissions that they themselves have from other access levels, and add and delete access levels.
    
  • Edit the Administrator access level, and push these settings to existing sites at any time.
• Define and manage access levels for all sites, existing and future.
  
  • Administrators can assign access levels to patrons, and view the permissions for each access level, but cannot assign or remove any permissions, or add or delete an access level.
    
  • Destiny deletes any site-created access levels and reassigns patrons of those access levels to the default access level.
• Allow the site-level Administrator to set up and maintain access levels for their school.

Note: These settings do not apply to Media Manager sites or to District Warehouse access levels.

Set up initial access levels

The Destiny Administrator configures specific access levels for one, multiple, or all schools in the district. Based on the access levels granted to them, the Administrators can then take control, and manage the access levels at their school.

1. Log in as a Destiny Administrator.
2. Select Setup > District Options sub-tab.
3. In the Access Levels section, click Edit.
4. Select the first option, Setup initial access levels for users here. The access levels will be applied to new sites. Existing sites will continue to use the Access Levels setup on Admin tab. However, you can update the site settings by selecting the access levels and clicking Push to update the entire district, a select group of sites, or a single site.
   

5. Next to each access level, click .
