You can allocate “view only” or “full” permissions to certain aspects of your School Admin Dashboard to individual users. 

  • License Details: Allows the user to view the details of the purchased license
  • Manage Users: Allows the user to manage permissions of other users
  • School Usage Graphs: Allows the user to view a leaderboard of teacher usage
  • School Usage Statistics: Allows users to view a more detailed view of teacher usage
  • Post-Session Reports: Allows users to view other user’s post-session reports
  • Manage School Library: Allows users to add folders and manage lessons to the school library
  • Push Lessons: Allows users to add lessons from one user’s library to another

Edit Users

When you click on “Edit Users” in the Manage Users section, you will see a pop-up box similar to the image below. You are only able to edit individual users. This is not available in a bulk option.

As a School Administrator, you are able to edit the name of a user, update their password, and change their “user” type from a user to school admin.

 

Impersonate and Remove Users

When you click “impersonate” you will impersonate the user’s account and be able to enter their Nearpod account as them. This is a great option for helping users troubleshoot.

You can also “remove” a Nearpod user from your School subscription. By selection this option, you will not be deleting their Nearpod account, they will simply be downgraded to the free version of Nearpod.
