 +===== Overview ===== 
 +This page contains information for //Administrator// (also referred to as local admin) user accounts. Each section of this page will refer to the corresponding drop-down menus from the navigation bar at the top of Silent Dismissal when accessed by a local admin account. 
 + 
 +===== Accounts Menu ===== 
 +The accounts menu contains links to pages that allow a local admin user to interact with the user accounts associated with the school. 
 +=== ACCOUNTS / NEW === 
 +{{ :lillie:admin-account-new.png?600|}} 
 + 
 +To manually create an individual account, navigate to the page referenced above by clicking on **ACCOUNTS** and then **NEW** from the drop-down menu. Please fill in the form with the appropriate information to create a new account. Each line of the form should be self-explanatory, with the account type requiring the most attention and understanding. 
 + 
 +There are five different account types: 
 +  * Local Admin 
 +  * Classroom 
 +  * Dismissal 
 +  * Extended Care 
 +  * Kiosk 
 + 
 +The //Local Admin// account type has the highest set of user permissions. The user of this account type will be entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining and managing the school's Silent Dismissal database, which will require a greater knowledge of the application compared to their colleagues. While Silent Dismissal's support team will be available for contact and troubleshooting, Local Admin users can perform a variety of tasks with their set permissions. We encourage faculty & staff with access to these accounts carefully read our documentation to avoid unnecessary support contact. 
 + 
 +The //Classroom// account type should be used by faculty & staff that are teaching students in classroom settings. The information available through this user account type refers to student's attendance, participation, etc. and assists with arrival and dismissal of students. 
 + 
 +The //Dismissal// account type should be used by faculty & staff that perform arrival and dismissal duties. The information available through this user account type refers to the school's arrival and dismissal system, including locations for pick up and zones both which can be setup by a local admin user (usually performed during the [[admin:spreadsheet_file_format#groups_locations_and_messages|initial setup]] of the school's database). 
 + 
 +The //Extended Care// account type should be used by faculty & staff that are involved with the school's extended care program(s). The information available through this user account type refers to the check-in and check-out process for extended care, including documentation of charges for each student. 
 + 
 +The //Kiosk// account type is used to create a number pad to use at dismissal locations for dismissal purposes. At this time, there are no other purposes for this account.
