For read-only access, for example an accreditation visitor, create an Observer user who can view but not change anything.
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.
Observers are free to review all sections of units and generate PDF planners, but they cannot Edit units.
Changing to or from an Observer
A user cannot be switched to or from the Observer type.
- Observer to teacher or admin: delete the Observer (no data is tied to it), then create the user again with the new user type.
- Staff member to Observer: archive their account to keep their data, change its email address to avoid a clash, then create a new Observer with their email address.
