Georgia Online IEP allows a variety of user roles to ensure that educational privacy is enforced. A teacher can only see students assigned to them and only an authorized school employee can assign IEP cases to case managers.


There are eight user roles available in GO-IEP. Two user roles cannot be assigned.  


System Admin: A system administrator can assign roles to any Online IEP user in the district (school system), can assign students to Case Managers, and can view/edit all students in the system. They can also generate system level reports, which can be filtered by school.


School Admin: Same privileges as a System Admin, but only for the school(s) to which they are assigned in GO-IEP. They can also generate school level reports.


Special Ed Teacher: A special ed teacher can view/edit any students assigned to them as a case manager or a team member.


General Ed Teacher: A general ed teacher can view any students if they have been assigned as a team member.


SystemReadOnly: A person assigned SystemReadOnly can view all information for any student in the district. This person cannot make any changes to a student's records. They can also generate system level reports, which can be filtered by school. The role for SystemReadOnly with document upload rights has been added along with a new warning message when submitting an Initial IEP dated more than 30 days after initial eligibility. For the new role, if you want SystemReadOnly user to have the ability to upload documents, change their role on the user list to this new role.

SchoolReadOnly: The same as SystemReadOnly, but only for the school(s) to which they are assigned in GO-IEP. They can also generate school level reports.


Default:  When a user logs in to GO- IEP the first time, they are given the default role. A school or system admin will assign permissions as needed to new users. Student data is not available until a different role is assigned.


GNETS ADMIN and GNETS Teachers will be auto assigned based on the rights of the user in SIS/SLDS and are not editable.
