Changing Staff Roles

How to change the roles of the staff in your district or school.

Written by Niki Frisby

We understand that teachers, principals, assistants and administrators sometimes change their positions in your district or school, and we have made a functionality to accommodate that.

District Administrator

As a District Administrator, you can easily accommodate those changes by simply editing their roles. (Note: In order to change a staff member to the role of District Administrator, you must be the master account holder; that is, you must be the person to whom Typing Agent or its representatives sent district-based account access details.)

To edit the staff roles in your account, select User Management from your dashboard.

Then, select the user you’d like to change the role of.

From the right fly-out menu, select Edit User & Enrollments.

Now, set the Role to whichever new role your staff member has assumed.


When you're finished, press Update.


Standalone Single School Administrator

We understand that teachers, principals, assistants and administrators sometimes change their positions in your school. As a Standalone Single School Administrator, you can easily accommodate those changes by simply editing their roles.

To edit the staff roles in your account, hover over your Admin button and select User Management from your dashboard.

Then, select the user you’d like to change the role of.

From the right fly-out menu, select Edit User

Now, from the list of role options found under that drop-down arrow next to Role, select the appropriate level to which you'd like to switch that staff member.


When that role selection appears in the Role field, press Update.
