PATH: System Administration > User Security > User Groups > Tool Rights

Tool Rights provide access to the functions within Infinite Campus. Rights are listed by module and are assigned by the Campus Administrator at the school.

Only users assigned a Product Security Role may assign Tool Rights to Campus Application User Groups. The Product Security Role is assigned on the User Account tab.

District administrators will need to determine the appropriate amount of access for each user/group based on that user/group’s needs and district policies.

Individual User Tool Rights vs. Group Tool Rights

Campus highly recommends assigning tool rights to users through user groups. Individual users should NOT be assigned individual rights; rather, they should be made members of the user groups to which their job duties relate.

User groups should be created in sets and should contain tool rights tailored to specific job duties (e.g., separate user groups for nurses, secretaries, principals, counselors, reporting staff). User groups should also be created for specific school/year/calendar access (e.g., a user group with access to all schools/all years/all calendars, a user group with access to only Ballard High School/11-12 school year/11-12 Ballard High calendar).

Individual users should then be added to the user groups to which their duties correspond.

Tool Rights Definitions

This document will refer to tool rights in abbreviated form (i.e., R, W, A, D or any combination of the four). Details on the abbreviations are as follows:

R - Read

The R right indicates that the information on the applicable interface area may be viewed by the user. When only R rights are applicable, the user will not have access to the Save, Add or Delete icons in the action bar. Reports need only the R right for full access to viewing and generating results. In addition, R rights allow printing of information, when applicable. Many wizards require only the R right for complete access.

Image 2: Read Rights

W - Write

The W right indicates that the information on the applicable interface area may be viewed and modified by the user. When this right is applicable, the Save icon in the action bar will be functional. This right allows the user to modify only existing data in the area (adding new data is controlled by the A right). This right includes the ability to change or remove data from a specific field.

Image 3: Write Rights

A - Add

The A right indicates that the information on the applicable interface area may be viewed, modified and added to. When this right is applicable, the New or Add icons in the action bar will be functional. This right allows the user to add new data/records.

Image 4: Add Rights

D - Delete

The D right indicates that the information on the applicable interface area may be deleted. When this right is applicable, the Delete icon in the action bar will be functional. This right provides the ability to completely remove an existing record, including all data contained within the record. The ability to change/remove data from a field is controlled through the W right. A user will generally have RWA rights if he/she has D rights.

User should assign this right with caution.

Campus Instruction Tool Rights

In comparison to the RWAD rights structure for Campus Tools, rights to Campus Instruction are currently all or nothing. Marking the rights checkbox for a Campus Instruction tool gives users and groups full access to the tool.

Campus Instruction tool rights appear below the list of Campus Tools rights.

Tool Rights Blocked by Account Automation

If the 'Enable Automatic Creation of Staff Accounts' preference is enabled via the Account Security Preferences tool, user groups saved with only Calendar Rights will be prevented from having Tool Rights added. If you attempt to add tool rights to a calendar user group you will see the message below (Image 7).

Image 7: User Group Prevented from Adding Tool Rights

Example of Tool Rights

The following are examples of how tool rights affect how users are able to view and access tools throughout Campus.

Limited Tool Rights (Read Only)

Limiting a user group's tool rights affects how each user is able to interact with a tool. In the example below, the user group is given only R (Read) rights to the Student Information module. Because the user group only has R (Read) rights, all of the fields within each Student Information tool is read-only and the Save, Delete and New buttons are unable to be used.

Image 8: Limited Tool Rights

Full Tool Rights (RWAD)

Providing RWAD tool rights to a user group means users has full access to modifying data with the tool. In the example below, a user group with RWAD tool rights to the Student Information module is able to modify all data within any Student Information tool.

Compare this example with the example above for a better understanding of how user groups are provided different tool access based on tool rights.

Privacy Law Compliance

To ensure that unauthorized users do not violate federal FERPA and HIPPA privacy laws, unauthorized users should NOT be allowed access to certain, federally protected areas in Campus.

The following fields/areas of student data are federally protected:

FRAM > Eligibility > Eligibility
Student Information > General > Enrollments > State Reporting > Ward of State
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > State Reporting > Ward of State
Student Information > General > Enrollments > State Reporting > Homeless
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > State Reporting > Homeless
Student Information > General > Enrollments > State Reporting > Migrant
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > State Reporting > Migrant
Student Information > General > Enrollments > Special Ed > Service Hours
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > Special Ed > Service Hours
Student Information > General > Enrollments > Special Ed > Service Hrs Percent Reported
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > Special Ed > Service Hrs Percent Reported
Student Information > Program Participation > English Learners (EL)
Student Information > General > Enrollments > Enrollment History
Census > People > Demographics > Enrollments > Enrollment History
Student Information > Health > Conditions

This is not a comprehensive list. System Administrators should use caution and follow district guidelines for what users and user groups should be given access to Federally protected data. System Administrators must specifically deny unauthorized users and user groups access to these fields; otherwise these users may be able to access this data when pulling Ad hoc filters.

User Group Tool Right Examples

The following is a list of typical user groups established within a school/district.

Due to a wide range of school-specific duties and policies, user group tool rights will vary greatly. The user group tool rights mentioned below are only examples of typical user group rights and DO NOT reflect actual tool rights needed for user groups within a school or district. System administrators should always consult school/district authorities and policies before creating and assigning user group tool rights.

All Campus Users

All campus users should be assigned these rights.

Schedulers

* Delete rights allow a scheduler the ability to remove the schedule and all associated attendance and grades for students who attended classes within that schedule. These rights should be limited.

** Rights should ONLY be granted to these tools during the master scheduling period. After the master scheduling period has passed, these rights should be removed. Campus recommends that one user be in charge of the Schedule Wizard.

Social Security Number Rights

Social Security Numbers are managed independent from other user Demographic information. By limiting user access to SSNs, schools can manage who is allowed to view or modify staff SSNs, student SSNs or the SSNs of all people within the system. Users assigned to a SSN group MUST have calendar tool rights to users included within the group.

* This tool right allows viewing or modification of all users within the system.
