Customers using an automated rostering method (Clever, ClassLink, or OneRoster) may need the option to manually create administrator accounts outside of their rostering source data. They may also want to allow users in their organization to access their Great Minds account at digital.greatminds.org (in addition to logging in through their Single Sign-On (SSO) provider).
This option must be configured for your organization by a Digital Implementation Specialist. Contact our support team for assistance.
View Staff Accounts in Manage
Once this capability has been enabled by your Digital Implementation Specialist, you’ll notice some changes on the Staff page in the Manage interface.
The icons that appear next to each staff user’s name indicates whether they were created through the rostering sync or created manually.
|
Indicates the user has at least one manual role. |
|
Indicates the user was created via the automated sync with your rostering data source. |
You can also use the Filters button if you want to filter your staff list by source. Click the User Source drop-down and select one of the following options:
- Synced: Will show all users created via the automated sync with your rostering data source
- Unsynced: Will show all users created manually in Manage
Create Non-Rostered Administrator Accounts
Select a link below for instructions on creating school or district administrator accounts.
When creating an unsynced administrator account, the "Role" drop-down is locked as only administrators can be added outside of the rostering sync.
Add an Administrator Role to a Synced Account
Administrators can also manually add a district or school administrator role to teacher accounts that were created through the rostering sync.
Only district administrators can add the district administrator role to user accounts.
- Navigate to the Manage dashboard for your organization.
- Locate the teacher that requires the additional role and select the kebab icon next to their name.
- Select Add Administrator Role from the drop-down menu.
- In the pop-up, select the type of administrator role you wish to add to their account: School Administrator or District Administrator.
- Click Add to save your changes.
Log In to Great Minds
In addition to logging in via your SSO provider, administrators, teachers, and students can log in at digital.greatminds.org with credentials provided by their administrator.
- Navigate to digital.greatminds.org
- Select Log in with email to log in with email address and password.
- Select Log in with site code to log in with a site code, username, and password.
If you don’t know your site code username, or password, contact an administrator for assistance.
Reset Passwords
Administrators can set a temporary password for any user’s account in their organization. Once a user logs in with their temporary password, they’ll be prompted to set a custom permanent password for their account. Temporary passwords expire 30 days after creation or once used to log in.
Teachers can set a temporary password for any student in their class. They can set passwords individually or in bulk for their entire class.
See Resetting Passwords for a step-by-step walkthrough on resetting account passwords.
If a valid email address is attached to a user’s account, they can reset their own password using the Forgot your password? option on the login page.
