Custom User Settings
What “Custom User Settings” Mean
Custom settings allow exceptions to standard user scoping rules. In some cases, a school user may need to be tied to multiple schools, or a teacher user may need to be tied to multiple teachers.
- These settings are manually configured by our support team.
- Once active, the custom scope overrides what is defined in the CSV upload.
- Deprovisioning rules still apply! If the user is missing entirely from the CSV import, their account will be deprovisioned.
CSV uploads cannot overwrite a custom multi-school or multi-teacher assignment. Only deprovisioning (removal of access) will take effect if the user is absent from the latest import.
Supported Custom Settings
Multi-School Assignment (School Users)
- A school user may be granted access to multiple schools.
- This is useful for staff serving in roles that span more than one campus (e.g., assistant principals, specialists, coordinators).
- Their scope includes all teachers and students across the schools they are assigned.
Multi-Teacher Assignment (Teacher Users)
- A teacher user may be tied to multiple teachers. This is useful when a teacher takes on additional leadership responsibilities such as serving as a lead teacher or mentor teacher, providing support across multiple classrooms or teachers in the district.
- Their scope includes all assigned students across those teachers.
How to Request a Custom Setting
-
Reach out to Support with your request: support@equityanalyticsms.com
-
Include:
- The user’s email address.
- Whether the request is for multi-school or multi-teacher assignment.
- The list of schools or teachers that should be added.
Custom settings are configured by Support and confirmed back to you once applied.
Interaction with CSV Uploads
- If a user has a custom multi-school or multi-teacher setting, this will not change based on future CSV uploads.
- CSV imports continue to update name/title/email information, but the custom scope remains fixed.
- If a user is missing entirely from the CSV import, they will still be deprovisioned.
Tips for Success
- Always verify whether a user truly needs multi-school or multi-teacher access before requesting.
- Keep your CSVs clean. You cannot assign multiple teachers or schools through the csv files.
- Communicate changes promptly to Support to ensure uninterrupted access.
