Understanding Access Levels in Arc Pathway

Managing user access effectively is crucial for ensuring that the right people have the appropriate permissions within your nursery or school setting. Arc Pathway offers different access levels, allowing you to control who can view and manage various aspects of the platform.

Overview of Access Levels

Arc Pathway is structured into different levels of access, each with its own set of permissions. These access levels are designed to reflect the hierarchy of users within an organisation:

Organisation Admin – Full access to all settings, users, and data across multiple locations.

Location Admin – Manages settings, users, and data within a specific location.

Class Admin/Manager – Oversees a particular class, managing teachers and children assigned to that class.

Teacher – Limited access to children and reports within their assigned class(es).

Parent/Carer – Access to their child’s progress reports and updates but no ability to modify data.

Each role ensures that users can perform their necessary functions while maintaining appropriate security and privacy.
