If your students are encountering this screen when logging into the Classter platform it is not due to wrong credentials but due to the absence of a user “Role” (Figure 1).
To sort this problem out, you need to add a “Student” user role to that student (Admin Portal).
Note: This goes for the web and mobile app.
To fix this issue you need to go to the User Accounts page. To reach this page please follow the path: Dashboard>Management>User Accounts (Figure 2).

On this page you do the following:
