Users, Roles, and Permissions: The Right View for Everyone
One System, Many Audiences
A school system serves very different people: principals who need everything, teachers who need their classes, parents who need their children, and students who need their own view. Each must see exactly what they need — nothing more.
Roles in NileByte LMS
Built-in Roles That Match School Reality
- Super Admin / Landlord — platform-wide control across schools
- School Admin — full control of one school
- Teacher — classes, attendance, and grades they own
- Parent — their children's records and communication

Custom Roles When Needed
Head of department, accountant, librarian, HR — create roles with precisely the permissions each function requires.
Permissions That Protect

- Parent accounts limited to their own children
- Full audit of logins and changes
Simple User Management
Create users in bulk, assign roles, and manage accounts as staff join and leave — with the school's data always protected.
