Adding New Admins

You may want to add additional admins to help you rolling out and using the Safer Schools Scotland App in your school community. They are often part of the SLT, the Office team or the IT leads. It can help when delegating responsibilities like adding News Articles with the News Builder, sending Push Notifications or Customising your App regularly. 

Step 1 Log in to the Safer Schools Scotland Portal here and select Admin Users on the left hand side. If you select All Admin Users you will see a list of all of your Safer Schools Scotland Admins.

Step 2 Once you have clicked Admin Users, you will see the Add New Admin User option appear. Click on that to begin the process of adding the required admin for your Safer Schools Scotland Account. 

Step 3 Complete the required fields e.g. Name, Email, Role, Username & Password. Give new Admins a temporary password. The user should then change the password themselves once they log in.

Do NOT use a username like john.smith with a dot separating the characters as this will cause the username to display incorrectly in the portal.

Step 4 Once you have added all of the required information, click Submit. The new Admin's profile will now be available for them to login. 

Although you can register as many admin users as you need - depending on the size of your school - the fewer you have, the more accountability and control you have on who is making changes and/or sending push notifications.

Have you been set up as a new Admin User?

We recommend you change your password immediately upon logging in for the first time as is inline with best security practice. Find out how here 👈🏻
