(G) Downloadable Reports
-
Staff Permissions Report: Managing staff permissions is a key part of keeping your district secure and organized. To help you see who has access to what, we've created a new CSV report that shows all staff permissions in your district. You can now download a complete permissions report directly from your district settings. This report shows the same information that appears in the permissions table, making it easy to:
- Review who has access to different features
- Audit permissions across your district
- Keep records of staff access level
- An email notification will be sent to you as well:
- Users Overview Report: View all users in your district, including their contact details and associated schools or organizations. This section helps you maintain accurate and up-to-date user records in SchoolStatus Connect.
- SIS Shared Credentials (Email or SMS): Use this report to identify shared contact methods between users, review potential data inconsistencies, and improve account organization when needed. In many cases, shared contact methods are expected and do not require updates.
Pro-tip: Before leaving the District Page Settings, always click Update District.
