Managing Your Users

As a district administrator, you have accessibility to a few different ways to manage your users. You will have the most access under the 'Inactive' dropdown menu.

Transferring Users

There may be a time when you need to transfer a staff member to a different building with in their district. Click on the 'Transfer users' tab under the 'Admin menu' and select the school you are transferring the staff members to.

Search for and select which staff members you want to transfer to the selected new location.

Accidentally select the wrong staff member? No worries, click the red trash can to remove them from being transferred.

Transferring a user that needs administrative access to the school/building's location? Select the 'Make admin' check box before you transfer the staff members.

After you are done selecting the staff members you want to transfer, press the blue 'Transfer' button.

Confirm that you want to transfer these staff members to a new building.

After the transfer is complete, you will see a yellow banner!

Deactivate User

If a member of your staff is no longer there or no longer needs to receive the Climate survey, you can deactivate that user.

First, select the users you want to deactivate and then click the red 'Deactivate user' button to deactivate the selected users.

If you are sure, click the red 'Deactivate user' button and then 'OK.'

Deactivate the wrong user/users or did a staff member return? You can simply reactivate those users under the 'Manage user' menu, just like you deactivated them.

Select the list of deactivated users within your district.
