Create and manage educator accounts
tvXello Adminhourglass4 minutes

As a Xello Administrator, one of the critical things you’ll do is create and update educator accounts so that the right people have access to the right tools and information. If you’re a Xello administrator at a school or college, you can create accounts for your school or college. If you're a regional or multi-site administrator, you can create educator accounts both for your centralised site or for your schools and colleges within that group. Example: a Xello administrator at a MAT headquarters could create educator accounts for all relevant colleagues at school or college sites within the MAT.

Create an educator account

Educator accounts are manually added to Xello. Only educators with administrator access can add and deactivate educator accounts.

To add an educator account: 

  1. From your educator account, click Educators to open the list of all educators.

    noteNote: If you don't have administrator access, you won't see this option.
  3. Enter the educator's email address and follow the on-screen instructions. You must set the educator's access level and then you can select further permission options.
FYIFYI: Even if an educator already has an account, they can be added to another institution. You can access all of your associated sites under the same login.

Administrator access

Administrators make sure the program is configured to meet student and educator needs. Administrators can change system settings, Add an educator account, Assign a student, and access all features and student profiles.

User level access

Users work with students or other educators. Users cannot change system settings or create new educator accounts. These users can access full profile details for all students at their institution. This is the most common access type.

Limited access

Limited access educators work with small groups of students and require access to only those student profiles. These users can see directory information (name, year, student number) for all students; they can only access the full profiles of students for which they have an approved educator assignment.
