Mastery Connect Roles and Permissions

Every user in Mastery Connect is assigned a standard role. A Mastery Connect standard role enables a set of default capabilities for users who are assigned that role. Additionally, most users can be given one additive permission role on top of their existing standard role. Learn more about how to assign users standard and additive permission roles. View each role's default permissions below.

Notes: 

  • District Administrators cannot be assigned additive permission roles. District Administrator roles have access to all additive permissions by default.
  • Limited School Administrators and Limited District Administrators cannot be assigned the Benchmark Author additive permission role. The interface prevents this because doing so would automatically make the user a School Administrator or District Administrator, respectively.
  • If you are not sure which role or permission you have, contact your administrator.
