User Roles

(Updated 9/17/2024)

Authorized administrators can assign one or more roles to an account to grant the users access to specific data and functions in CALPADS. Adding all available roles to a user account for a specific org type may actually limit some access to data or functionality. LEA Administrators are advised to look at each role description before assigning it to the user account.

Note: If a user already has a LEA level account, it is unnecessary and sometimes detrimental to a user's access, to create a separate school level account.

The table below list all the roles available for a LEA or school org type.

Table of User Roles

The table escribes the security roles available in the system, and at which 'level' those roles should be available for assignment within a user's account. e.g. When creating a LEA Level account, any role with an X in the column should be available to assign.

Please see the "Role to Function List" tab for how those roles can View and/or Edit particular screens and reports.
