Main administrators use the Permissions page to decide which school-level features are available to administrators, teachers, or no one outside the main administrator role. Main administrators always retain full control of these settings.
Here's what you do:
Open the Permissions Page
Sign in to Typing Agent Version 6 as a main administrator.
Select Settings from the left navigation menu.
In the School Settings panel, select Permissions.
Review the available permissions by category.
Once you've made your selections, click the SAVE changes button at the bottom of the page. Once you click that, a green Settings saved message will appear at the bottom right.
Understand the Permission Levels
Most permissions provide three access choices:
Admins + Teachers
Select this option when both administrators and teachers should be able to use the feature.
Admins only
Select this option when administrators should have access, but teachers should not.
Disabled
Select this option when the feature should not be available to administrators or teachers. Main administrators continue to retain control even when a permission is set to Disabled.
Set Curriculum Permissions
Under Curriculum, locate Enable / disable curriculum.
This permission controls who can add or remove curriculum applications from a student’s account.
Choose:
Admins + Teachers to allow both groups to manage student curriculum.
Admins only to limit curriculum changes to administrators.
Disabled to prevent administrators and teachers from making these changes.
Set Student Permissions
The Students section includes permissions for student records, passwords, and accommodations.
Student management
Controls who can:
Add students
Edit students
Delete students
Move students
Use Admins only when student account changes should be handled centrally.
Reset student password
Controls who can change student passwords.
Select Admins + Teachers when teachers should be able to help students regain access during class. Select Admins only when password changes must be handled by school administrators.
Student accommodations
Controls who can change student-specific:
Targets
Settings
Games
Accessibility options
Digital Citizenship application settings
Choose access based on whether teachers are permitted to adjust these options for their own students.
Set Classroom Permissions
Under Classrooms, locate Classroom management.
This permission controls who can:
Create classrooms
Edit classrooms
Delete classrooms
Enable or reset class codes
Add teachers to classrooms
Select Admins + Teachers when teachers manage their own classroom setup. Select Admins only when class creation and teacher assignments are controlled centrally.
Set Gradebook Permissions
The Gradebook section uses switches rather than the three-option permission selector.
Allow the school or district's grading system to be changed
Turn this setting on to allow teachers and administrators to override the Gradebook for grading students in classes.
Turn it off when lesson grades should remain unchanged.
Lock the Gradebook
Turn this setting on to prevent grade overrides across the school’s Gradebook.
This is a broader restriction than the individual override setting. Use it when no grade changes are permitted.
Recommended Permission Setup
A main administrator may choose different settings based on how the school manages accounts.
Teacher-managed classrooms
Use Admins + Teachers for:
Curriculum management
Student password resets
Student accommodations
Classroom management
Keep student account creation, deletion, and movement restricted when those tasks are handled by office or district staff.
Centrally managed schools
Use Admins only for most permissions when administrators control:
Student rosters
Curriculum assignments
Classroom setup
Password resets
Accommodations
Highly restricted environments
Use Disabled for features that should not be changed by regular administrators or teachers. Main administrators will still retain control.
Review Permissions Before Finishing
After making changes, confirm that:
Each permission has the intended access level.
Teachers can access only the features required for their role.
Sensitive student-management tasks are restricted appropriately.
Gradebook override settings do not conflict with the school’s grading policies.
The All changes saved confirmation appears at the top of the page.
