  • User role
  • Firstname
  • Lastname

    • This must be unique in the organisation.

If the user role is set to 'Designated Teacher', you have the option to assign the user to an organisation.

This will control which pupils a Designated Teacher has access to. 

Begin typing the URN; search results will be displayed.

This must be the URN allocated to the organisation by the Government. See https://get-information-schools.service.gov.uk/ for a current list.

Setting 'Status' to 'Inactive' will prevent that user from being able to log in.

You will now see your new user listed in the 'User management' table.
