Account types and permissions

Free Accounts

Each type of Spaces account includes differing levels of access. The main account types within the free version of Spaces are teachers, students, and family accounts.

• Teachers can:

  • create classes, individual and group spaces

  • invite students and family members to sign up and join classes

  • invite co-teachers to share their class

  • control their space settings

  • send messages to students and family members, and control whether 2-way messaging is enabled

• Students:

  • can view posts added to the entire class, and comments on them

  • may be able to create posts and comments, and may be able to view other students' posts and comments, depending on the settings for the space

  • can receive messages, and may be able to reply or not, depending on the settings applied by their teacher

• Family:

  • may be able to view and comment on posts by their linked students, or posts to the entire class, depending on the settings applied by the teacher

  • can receive messages, and may be able to reply or not, depending on the settings applied by the teacher

  • cannot view comments added by other linked family members

You can have more than one type of account linked with the same email address! To switch between the two, click on your avatar or initials at the top right in your account, then select the account type you'd like to change to.

Spaces Pro

Licensing Spaces Pro offers some additional account types that include powerful administrative tools to set up and manage your school or district: an admin account, and a super admin account.

• The primary difference between these two account types is that only super admin accounts can use the rostering import function to set up their school.

• School super admin accounts can be created either by the Spaces support team, or by a district super admin.

• District super admin accounts can be created only by the Spaces team for districts with a Pro license.
