About Admin Users

Any non-student user of Educate Texas is an "Admin," even if they are not someone who you expect to handle administrative tasks. You can define the Role each user has, which defines what they have permission to do and see in EdReady. You can also add Category assignments to your users to limit their access to student data. 

IMPORTANT

If you get an error message that the user already has an account, that means that they have an account on a different EdReady site. Unfortunately, an email address can only be associated with one site. If you know an alternate email address for your user, create an account with that address.

Otherwise, please submit a support ticket and the EdReady team can help create their account. Be sure to share the following details: User Name, Email Address, ISD Name, and any school and/or Program assignments

Step 1: Create Admin Account

If you have permission to create Admin Accounts (ISD Administrator or School Administrator), you will be able to perform the following actions.

 

1. Login to EdReady and click Manage Account

 

2. The Groups tab will open by default. Click on the Admins tab at the top of the page.

3. Click the Create new admin button above the table

4. You will be taken to the page where you can enter this user's information: 

 
      • Email: this will also be their username. They will need to be able to access messages sent to this account in order to confirm their account
      • First and Last name
      • Password: the email you select will be sent to them automatically by the system. They will be forced to select a secure password upon their first login
      • Admin Type: select Group Admin for all Texas College Bridge users

5. After selecting the Admin Type, additional fields will display on-screen:

  • Role: this indicates the permissions this user should have within the Educate Texas platform. (More details about the available roles can be found HERE.)
  • Groups: Select your ISD or Partner name from the dropdown here: you will know it has been selected when it is displayed on-screen in a gray box.
 

6. Click the Create button

This user will automatically receive an email from EdReady that includes a link to their temporary password and a link to confirm their account.
 

7. After a user's account has been created, it is important that you edit the Categories and/or Goals associated with the account.
 

 

 

Step 2: Set Up Categories and Goals

After a user's account has been created, it is important that you edit the Categories and/or Goals associated with the account.
