Understanding user roles
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 avaliable 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.
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.
