Add and Maintain User Types

When users are added to IRIS ParentMail, a user type is assigned to determine the version of the product they can access. The following user types are provided by default: 

  • Admin Assistant - for users who are responsible for administering IRIS ParentMail for your organisation
  • Head Teacher - for the head teacher of the organisation
  • Teacher - for a teacher of a class or registration group
  • Parent - for a person of a student attending your organisation
  • Staff - for staff members other than the head teacher and teachers
  • Student - for a student attending your organisation

Create a User Type

  1. Go to Users >Create Type.

  2. Enter a User Type name, for example, Governor, then select Save.

  3. The user type created successfully message is displayed. The user type is then displayed when creating a new user.

Next, you need to set up permissions for the user type to determine what users with user type assigned can access within IRIS ParentMail. For more information, go to Manage User Type Permissions.
