Default Role for Teacher accounts

App Settings › Main Settings › Security Settings · Updated 2026-08-05

The Default Role for Teacher Accounts setting controls which portal access role is automatically given to a new Teacher (Instructor, Lecturer) the moment their online account is created in Classter. A role in Classter defines what a user sees and can do after logging in to the portal: the menus available, the modules they can access, the dashboard content shown to them, and the actions they are allowed to take.
