Roles and permissions
Overview
Assign Roles maps people to roles. Roles decide which menus they see.
Who can use it
School admins.
Where to find it
Sidebar → Assign Roles. Page title: Roles & Permissions.
Before you start
Give each person only the role they need. Parents need the Parent role.
How to use it
Grant a role to a user
- Open Assign Roles.
- Find the user.
- Change or add the role.
- Save. Ask the user to refresh or sign in again.
Troubleshoot a missing menu
- Confirm the user has the role that includes that menu.
- If the feature is still missing, check Plan & Features and Feature Flags.
- Confirm Teaching vs Management still shows the section.
Tips
- People with more than one role see the combined menus.
- Test with a non-admin account after large role changes.
If you get stuck
- “No users found.” — check filters.
- This page assigns roles; it is not a checkbox list of every action. Ask GrowWise support if you need a custom role.
