Quick answer

For read-only access, for example an accreditation visitor, create an Observer user who can view but not change anything.

Important

For a Read-only user, we suggest using the Observer level user.  If your administrators use ManageBac+ to assemble documents for authorisation or accreditation visits (i.e. exporting all unit plans into PDF), you may want to consider providing direct access to ManageBac+ instead. This user could also be used for site visitors, you will just require a name and email address. 

Adding an Observer user

Navigate to Settings > School Directory > Observers > Add User.

Users with an Observer permission level do not have access to any student information. When they log in, only curriculum information is available.
