Your school's users, and course requests

Admin → Users (/admin/users) is the school admin's list of everyone with a role at the school: name, username, email, role (admin, teacher or learner), when they joined and their last sign-in. Search by name, username or email. A school admin sees this school's members only.

Below the list:

• Waiting for a first sign-in: roles the platform owner granted to an address that has no account yet. The role lands the moment that address signs in.
• Assign a teacher to a course: pick a teacher (any teacher or admin of the school) and a course. This sends the teacher an offer they accept on Teach; the course changes teacher when they do. See "Change a course's instructor".
• Courses offered to teachers: the offers waiting for an answer (with Withdraw), and the last month's answers with the teacher's note.
• Course requests: teachers ask from their Teach page for a new course (title, what it covers, why, a brief link if they gave one) or to teach an existing course of the school (which course, who teaches it now, and why).
  • Approve and create the draft (a new course): a private, unpublished draft course is created with that teacher as its instructor. It appears under their Your courses on Teach; it goes public only through the usual Make public switch after vetting.
  • Approve and hand them the course (an existing course): the teacher becomes its instructor at once, with the same checks and log as any hand-over; the previous instructor loses edit access.
  • Decline with note: the teacher reads your note on Teach (at least 10 characters, so it says something they can act on). A note is optional on an approval.
  • A request is decided once. The teacher is emailed either way when the school's mail is set up; the school's admins are emailed when a request comes in.

To make someone a teacher in the first place, use Admin → Teachers.

Edit a member's name, username or email

Each member's row has Edit name, username or email. Same checks as the person's own Account settings (a username is 3 to 30 lowercase letters, numbers and single hyphens, not a reserved word, and not already taken; an email is a full address no other account uses).

• An email change you make takes effect at once: the next sign-in link goes to the new address. Both the old and the new address get a short notice. The person can change it back from their own Account settings.
• A username change moves that person's course links (/username/course) and instructor page. Old links stop working.
• Every change is logged: what changed, from what to what, who made it and in what role.
• A school admin can edit learners and teachers of this school only. One account signs a person in to every school, so someone who also belongs to another school, another admin, and the platform owner can be edited only by the platform owner. Your own email changes from Account settings, which checks the new address first. A child's profile keeps its email and username.

Asked to delete their account (platform owner)

When someone presses Ask to delete my account on their Account settings, the platform owner sees them under Asked to delete their account on this page (from every school) and their member row is marked. Deletion is done by hand; press Mark handled when it is done or settled with the person.
