Roles & Access

Access is based on custom roles. Your school admin creates custom roles for all users and controls exactly which permissions each role has — View, Edit, Create, and Delete — for every section of the system, including Activities.

Whether you can log water intake depends entirely on the custom role assigned to you:

  • Roles with Create permission for Activities can log water entries.
  • Roles with View permission can see the Activities feed and hydration history.
  • Classroom and child visibility follows the role's permissions and the user's classroom assignments.

Where to manage roles: Go to Settings → Roles & Permissions, then click + Create Role to build a new custom role, or select an existing role to toggle its permissions. Super Admin permissions are fixed and cannot be edited.

How to Log Water Intake

When the Log Water Intake window opens:

  1. Classroom

    • Select the classroom.
    • Admins: can choose from all available classrooms.
