Assign Security Roles
This layer of security allows a district or coop administrator to assign specific roles to I-Star users.
Once all of your I-Star Plus users have established IWAS accounts and logged into I-Star Plus at least once, the District Security Administrator can assign security roles to all the users on their behalf.
To assign specific roles to I-Star Plus users follow the steps below:
To assign security roles, a user must first be a District Security Administrator. Once access is established, click on the Utilities dropdown arrow and select User Search/Permissions.
NOTE: To request a specific security role within I-Star, uses must contact a current District Security Administrator to assign the roles.
