Dashboard Access
The District Assignment Code field displays when the District Staff checkbox has been marked and gives users District wide access to the Ed-Fi Dashboards based on the Title that is selected for the staff. This field populates the Education Organization Reference and Staff Classification Descriptor in the Staff Education Organization Assignment resource. This field has its own sub-right and users must have any combination of RWAD tool rights to see and populate this field. School specific access will be issued based on District Assignment records if this field is left blank. Only populate this field for staff that should have access to all schools in dashboards.
