One System, Many Audiences
A school system serves very different people: principals who need everything, teachers who need their classes, parents who need their children, and students who need their own view. Each must see exactly what they need — nothing more.
Roles in NileByte LMS
Built-in Roles That Match School Reality
- Super Admin / Landlord — platform-wide control across schools
- School Admin — full control of one school
- Teacher — classes, attendance, and grades they own
- Parent — their children's records and communication
- Student — personal view of timetable, grades, and homework
Custom Roles When Needed
Head of department, accountant, librarian, HR — create roles with precisely the permissions each function requires.
Permissions That Protect
- Data-level access — teachers see only their classes
- Action-level permissions — who can edit grades or delete records
- Parent accounts limited to their own children
- Full audit of logins and changes
Simple User Management
Create users in bulk, assign roles, and manage accounts as staff join and leave — with the school's data always protected.
With NileByte LMS, every user sees the right view — and nothing they should not.
