Administration
Your personal settings
Password, language, theme, and every device your account is signed in on.
On this page
This page has no sections.
Account → Settings is your own account: your password, your language, your theme, and every device you are signed in on. It belongs to you, not to your school, and it follows you between schools.
Changing your password
Current password, new password, confirm. Show passwords reveals what you have typed if you need to check it.
Sign out of all other devices is ticked by default, and should usually stay that way. You remain signed in where you are; every other session ends. If you are changing your password because you think somebody else has it, that tick box is the part that actually helps.
Two-factor authentication
On, for every account, from the moment it is created. Signing in asks for a six-digit code as well as your password, sent by email or text message — you choose which each time you sign in. Signing in covers what that looks like.
The card in Settings shows which it is, and turning it off asks for your password first. That is deliberate: a browser left unlocked in a staffroom is exactly the situation the second factor exists to survive, so the one change that weakens your account asks for something the person walking past does not have.
There is no way for an administrator to turn it off for somebody else, and that is on purpose — an administrator who could would be one compromised account away from turning it off for everybody.
Signed-in devices
Everywhere your account is currently signed in, each entry showing the browser and operating system, the IP address, and when it was last used. Your current device is marked This device.
Sign out ends a session immediately. You do not need access to that device.
Sessions also end on their own: after a period of inactivity, when you sign out, when you change your password, and when an administrator resets it.
Language
English, Afrikaans, Sesotho and isiZulu. The translation covers every screen, not just the sign-in page.
Language is yours alone. A teacher working in Sesotho and an administrator working in English are looking at the same data through the same system.
Change it here or from the picker in the top bar.
Theme
Three options:
| Dark | The default. Every screenshot in this manual |
| Light | |
| System | Follows your phone or computer, so it turns dark at night on a device that does |
The sun/moon control in the top bar is the same setting, one click away.
Your profile
Your own profile — contact details, photo — is reached from the menu under your name.
What you can change about yourself is deliberately narrow: contact details, not your role, your grade or your school. Those belong to the school and changing them is an administrator’s action, recorded in the Activity Log.
Switching schools
If you are attached to more than one school, Switch school is at the bottom of the sidebar under your name. Switching re-scopes everything — the sidebar, your permissions, the data — to the other school.
Your language and theme follow you across the switch. They are yours, not the school’s.
