This article explains how to view a staff member's existing permissions and how to assign additional, ad-hoc permissions directly from their staff profile
Key Information:
-
You must have "Permissions: Administer" permission to view and assign permissions. This permission is typically held by Head Teachers, Business Managers, School or HR Admins, and Senior Management Team members.
-
For any permission changes to take effect, the staff member must log out of Arbor and then log back in.
-
You cannot add permissions to multiple staff members simultaneously (in bulk).

Hi Shelley, please either contact your school office team to give you the right permissions, or shoot us an email so we can find out what will need to be changed on your profile.
