Each district has one Main Admin account. This is the account that controls district-wide account settings.

The Main Admin account has a module called Control Center, which is not available in any other account type.

The credentials to this account should only be shared with those who require access to Control Center (building level principals, curriculum superintendents, etc..). We recommend that these credentials are dispersed with caution, as changes to some settings in Control Center will impact many, if not all district users.

The Main Admin account is set up during Onboarding with your Otus Client Experience Partner.

Any teacher account can be given admin permissions, which would officially designate them as an Admin (their account will switch from a teacher account to an Admin account). This is done through the Main Admin account.

Admins are given site (school) specific permissions.

Admins will only have access to the students, teachers, and classes rostered with the sites they have permission for. These permissions can be changed within the Main Admin account.

Admins can give recognitions*, assign groups**, assign/unassign lessons, assign/unassign/grade assessments, create plan templates, share bookshelf resources, and post on a blog within any class in the sites they have permissions for. Admins have access to all teachers' classes (including assigned assessments, assigned lessons, gradebooks, and student lists) that are rostered in the sites they have permissions for.

Admins do not have a Home Module with a notification feed, but rather a Dashboard Module. See below.

Dashboard - View data for the sites the admin has permissions for, including user logins and assessment and standards activity.

District Module - Admins can access the sites they have permissions for, which includes the students and teachers in those sites. They can also view and manage district student groups, district teacher groups, and district recognitions.

Analytics - Admins can run 3rd party, attendance, recognitions, assessment, and standards analytics reports for any student/class rostered in the sites they have permissions for.

Reports - there is a Reports tab in the Analytics menu in admin accounts. Admins have the ability to run queries, historical reports, and report cards for any classes/students that are rostered in the sites they have permissions for.
