Access

On the Access page, you can set the different permission levels for the site. Permission levels allow you to determine who can do what on your site.

Class sites have: Readers, Students, and Teachers, while group sites, have Readers, Contributors, and Owners.

• Readers have read-only access, meaning they can only view your site. Readers can comment on blog posts. Note: If you choose Public (Anonymous), your site will be visible to everyone on the Internet. 
• Students or Contributors can add content to the site, submit assignments, blogs, edit the wiki, or participate in discussions.
• Teachers or Owners have full control of your site. They can add and remove content, enable features or format the site. This is useful for substitute teachers, or co-taught classes. You can't remove yourself but a co-owner or co-teacher you add can do that for you.

Readers

In this section, you can control who can view your site. You can add individual users or groups. There are three levels of Reader permission for Class sites and four levels of reader permission for Group sites:

• Public Access - Gives permission to anyone who has the address for your site to access it and read the public areas. 

• All Students - Allows all students to view the site. 
• All Teachers - Allows all teachers to read announcements, events and assignments.
• All Staff (Groups only) - Allows all staff to read announcements, events and assignments.

To add individual readers click the ADD button and search by name, username or email address.

Students & Classes (Class)

Students can participate in discussions, comment on the class blogs, and submit assignments. 

On class sites we recommend leaving the default access, All Students, this avoids the need to add students individually. Students can easily find and follow your class to start contributing. 

To add individual students click the ADD button and search by name, username or email address. 

If your school has enabled Scholantis SIS Data Sync you will see a list of classes from your Student Information System when adding students (Look for the graduation cap ).

Adding a class from your SIS synchornises your class site enrolment with your Student Information System. Every night students are automatically added or removed from your class site. New students are added as followers to your site so it appears on their My Classes list, and a blog or portfolio will be created (if enabled on your class).

Add all students in a class from the Add Student & Classes area:

• Click the + ADD button beside the name of the class to add all the students in the class. 
• View the individual students in a class by clicking the down arrow
