Permissions, roles & groups — everyone sees exactly the right things
Who is allowed to do what? In accora that is not a matter of faith but clearly regulated: roles for the organisation, sharing per course, folder or document, groups and classes for everything in between.
How you control access
Roles with clear rights
Admin, teacher, student, or roles of your own. Each role bundles granular permissions, from managing members to creating courses.
Sharing per resource
View, edit or manage: grant access to individuals or groups, on courses, folders or single documents. Those you trust can pass permissions on.
Inheritance along the structure
A share on the course automatically covers its folders and documents. You can always go finer and share individual subfolders on top.
Groups and classes
Groups for clubs, projects and teams, classes with year group and form teacher. A share with the group reaches every member, including those who join later.
Supervision scopes
In association scenarios, teachers only see the participants assigned to them. The administration draws that line, not chance.
Permission overview per person
One click on a member shows all direct shares and group memberships. Revoking works in the same place.
Traceable instead of overgrown
Permission systems tend to get murky over the years. accora therefore shows on every item how many people can reach it, inherited shares included. And there is the reverse view per member: an overview of all of that person's shares, each revocable on the spot.
The teacher who does not need to be an admin
Whoever runs a course does not need organisation-wide rights. An edit share on the course is enough to maintain material, set assignments and create tests there. The rest of the organisation stays untouched.
Guard rails against the usual accidents
The last administrator can neither be removed nor demoted, admin rights are only granted by someone who has them, and restricted teachers cannot widen their own visibility. These safeguards are built in, not bolted on.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone be a teacher for exactly one course?
Yes. No special role required, an edit share on the course is enough. That person then manages this course and sees nothing extra of the rest of the organisation.
What happens when someone leaves a group?
Access inherited through the group ends with the departure. Direct personal shares remain until they are revoked.
Do students see what other students submit?
No. Submissions and grades are private. Students see material shared with them and their own work.
Can teachers access the full member list?
That is your call. With supervision scopes a teacher only sees the assigned circle of participants, in people lists as well as when sharing.
How granular are the permissions really?
Five levels per share (view, edit, delete, invite, manage), granted to people or groups, on course, folder or document level. On top of that come role-based administrative rights per organisation.
