User Access to Multiple User Groups

Most users are either members of a User Group (such as administrators in a school or district who need access to lists as a group) or they are an Individual Users (typically used for teachers).

The exception would be a login who needs access to multiple groups' (such as two or more schools) lists.

Please reference this article for help with making accounts.

To setup this “hybrid” user if they are already in a User Group (such as a school), here are the steps (if they are already an Individual User, skip to step 3):

1. As the system administrator, from User Accounts, remove them from whichever User Group they are in (delete them from there).
2. Add them as an individual User (as if they were a teacher). Click OK.
3. Within User Accounts, open that separate user’s User Edit page (but clicking on their name).
4. Within the User Edit page, click on the button “Assign to Users/Groups”. (This button only appears when editing an existing user, not on initial creation).

5. Click on the User Groups that the user needs to access, and then click OK

When this user logins, they will see those multiple groups.

Note: When you use this approach, you have reset that person’s existing login information (or SSO information within PowerSchool). If you want to accomplish the same result while maintaining their existing login information, reach out to BrightArrow support to do it for you.
