Add users and assign roles
If a user is in your MIS, they will be automatically synced to your platform's user list as a 'Staff' user for that school, and more roles can be added as you wish. Please ensure that the users' email addresses are correctly stored in the MIS, as updating them individually post-sync is possible, but less efficient.
For more information on how roles work at Progress Teaching, log onto your platform, then click here.

Assign and remove roles
- The 'X' on the right-hand side of the 'Roles' box clears all assigned roles. When you click in the Roles box you will see all the available roles. These can be assigned individually by repeat clicking a role, then clicking again in the 'Roles' box to see the list of remaining roles. You can also use the 'Select All', or 'Add all roles' options. Roles can be individually removed by clicking the 'X' next to the role name.
If there are accounts that exist in your MIS that should not have access to the platform, click on the 'Make User Inactive' button.
Save any changes by clicking the 'Submit' button.
Click on 'Cancel' to return to the Settings > User Management page without making any changes.
Editing accounts in bulk
Changes to roles and account activity can be make in bulk by using the multi-select boxes with the 'Edit Selected (#)' button. This will allow you to assign roles and make users inactive in bulk rather than individually. Click on the 'Submit' button to save your changes.
Manually creating users
If you need to give access to anyone that does not have an account in your MIS, this can be achieved by clicking on the 'Create User' button. You will need to assign the account with:
- Display name
- Email address
- Role(s)
Click on the 'Submit' button to save your changes.
Adding and updating accounts using a CSV file

- Download the 'bulk-user-data' spreadsheet by clicking the 'Download CSV' button, which exports a list of the existing accounts from the platform with:
- Id - the unique identifier for the account
- Name - the name from the MIS
- Email - the email address from the MIS
- Roles column - the account row will show any assigned roles
- Edited - true or false column to show if the account has been edited
- Add or amend the users on the spreadsheet as required, then make sure you save your spreadsheet
- Click the 'Choose file' button, which will allow you to browse to the CSV file that you have downloaded and amended so that it can be uploaded back into the platform to action the changes you have made.
