Once a user has been added to the Pathways system and their rights have been given (PW Admin, User, View Only), assigned, they must be given permission to access students. There are two ways this can be done. One is by alphabetics or cohort (Limited Per Specifications) and the other is by selecting the students from a list (Select Students). Each user will be included in the list and can be adjusted individually by any Pathways Admin. The user’s building (or district) access was granted when the account was created. The default access to students is set to “All Students in District”. The other two choices are listed belowStudent data access can be set to: ALL DISTRICT STUDENTS | SELECT SCHOOLS | NO STUDENT ACCESS
Among the first two options, there are three additional ways that Pathways distinguishes individual user student access: ALL STUDENTS | LIMITED PER SPECIFICATIONS | SELECT STUDENTS.
All Students in District
This is the default option for anyone given an account.
Limited Per Specifications
Select the appropriate settings for this area, and the user will only have access to that specific group of students. Additional singleton students can be added outside the parameter range by clicking “Add Individual Exceptions”. Doing this will NOT remove them from another user’s access.
Select Students
When selected, a pop-up window will appear where you can click each student who should be visible by this user. If the number of students is somewhat large, you can copy & paste a list of state student ID#s into the box at the bottom of the window. Once saved all of the students in the list will be marked in the student list above.
