Users, roles, permissions, master data and email

Everything that sets up SIMS for your school is managed from screens, with no code changes: who can do what, the school's structure, and the email account that sends admission emails.

Administration

What it does

Users

Create staff accounts and assign roles.

Roles & permissions

Build roles from a catalogue of permissions. Changes apply on the user's next click.

Master data

Grade levels, sections, courses, terms, entry years, rooms and assignment types.

Email (SMTP)

Connect the school's own mail server. The password is encrypted at rest.

How it works

Administration, step by step

  1. 1

    Set up structure

    Add grade levels, sections, courses and terms.

  2. 2

    Invite staff

    Create users and give them roles.

  3. 3

    Connect email

    Add the SMTP account for admission emails.

Rules SIMS takes care of

These are built in, so staff don't have to remember them.

  • Every page and action checks permissions on the server, not just in the menu.
  • The menu hides what a user can't open, so each person sees a clean view.
Who uses it
  • Administrators

What each person sees is set by their role. See the role views.
