Create a new role

Introduction

In Zunia ‘roles’ describe what people do in a school. Roles set what permissions and access the user needs.  

Zunia has a set of default roles, but your school system administrator can create new roles. Users can have more than one role. For example, if a teacher also works as a wellbeing coordinator, give the user both roles.  

Create a new role 

You can create a new role in Security > Roles.  

1. Select Add role.
2. Enter a name for the role in Role and a description of the access the role has.  
3. Select Add. The role is then available to apply to a user.
4. To display of the details of a role, select the Details icon and then select the role name.

You can now: 

• add users to this role 
• add this role to a group

Note: In the list of default roles, some are managed by Zunia and can’t be edited. You can make a copy of the role and then customise it for your school.
