User Roles (Account Types) – FastBridge

User roles (account types) define the level of access a user has. Each account type inherits the functions and privileges of the role below it. Users with multiple accounts should use the account with the highest level of access. Master Account Administrators can create District Manager accounts.

User Accounts

Once a user account is created, the account type can not be changed. To change the account type, the account must be deprecated and a new account created. For more information about creating a new District Manager account, take a look at Add New District Managers.

If the Master Account Administrator needs to be changed for the district, the current Master Account Administrator must contact FastBridge Support. All other accounts can be created by District Managers and Master Account Administrators. School Managers can create accounts for other users at their school. For information on creating all other accounts, see Managing User Accounts.

Student login accounts are automatically created when the student is enrolled in FastBridge; however, the students must be assigned passwords, and access to assessments for students must be set up before their logins will work. Managers, Specialists, and Group Proctors can manage student access and assign passwords. For more information on student login accounts, see Setting Up Student Login Access.

For a summary of privileges for each account type, see the table below.
