Edit and submit attendance

[Powerschool3040]

Hi all,

Is there any special access which helps users to edit and submit attendance in PowerSchool. I need to grant access to receptionist of the school to edit and submit attendance. Are there any relevant access roles that should be given to the user or the role "Receptionist" itself should be changed to a new role? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Security permissions are one of those things that are dependent on your specific setup and how your school/district chose to setup their groups and roles. There's no one umbrella setting that would grant this access to that specific part of the system.

Generally you would want to check that their group and and groups they are tied to via roles has "View/Modify" permissions (either as their default or via page overrides) and in the page list they can see both "Attendance" and "Edit Attendance" in case they are doing this directly from a student perspective.

If you have locked down any attendance pages with specific security overrides, you can look at the group for "Page overrides" and see if any of the attendance pages have any overrides.

One way to figure out where you may have a problem is have the end user walk through the process and see how far they get and where/if they run into an error or can't see a specific page to click on. That will give you more insight into whether you have a specific page on lockdown or if you've blocked it from their view.
