Program Security

Program security is controlled by setting up program accounts with User IDs and Passwords. There are different levels of users that can be set up. The Administrator level allows full access to all functions of the program. The User level allows teachers access to view information, submit attendance and grades for their classes and set up personal calendars. The Nurse level allows the school nurse to enter student medical information and do attendance. The Lunch level allows the cafeteria employees to enter lunch purchases and menus.

A default program administrator account and a default lunch account are provided for accessing the program. These can be changed as desired after accessing the program the first time. The program administrator and user accounts are setup from the School Info module. Go to Enter School Info - Enter/Change Program Account to setup these accounts. The Lunch accounts are setup from the Lunch module. Go to Enter Lunch Program Accounts in this module to set up these accounts.

As an added security measure, if there is no activity using the program for more than 20 minutes, the session will time out and the user will have to reenter the User ID and Password when attempting to access the program again.

Program Access

Once School Administrator is installed on a computer, you can access the program on that computer by going to the Programs selection in the Start menu and choosing School Administrator Login.

You can also access the School Administrator program from other computers on your local area network using a web browser. You can access the School Administrator program from both Windows and Macintosh clients. To access the School Administrator program, you must have Internet Explorer version 5.0 or later installed on your computer. If you need to upgrade your version, you can install Internet Explorer from the SchoolAdmin CD or download the latest version from Microsoft..

To access the program from another computer on the network, start Internet Explorer and enter the following in the web browser's address text field: http://<server name>/SchoolAdmin to access the program's login page. If trying to access the program from Macintosh computers, the IP address of the server must be used instead of the server name. The server name is the name of the computer on which the School Administrator program is installed.
