How to Set Data Editing Restrictions
Who can do this with default user permissions?
School Network Level Administrators
Use this page to choose to restrict data editing or to warn users who are trying to edit school network, school, course, class, student, personnel, or school year data within Renaissance.
If you synchronise the user and rostering information in Renaissance with another database using the Custom Data Integration/CDI service, restricting editing or warning users in Renaissance can be helpful because changes made directly in Renaissance will be overwritten during the next sync.
- For each category listed, choose one of the options:
- Allow Editing means users of this software can add, edit, or delete this data without any restrictions.
- Allow Cautioned Editing
means users of this software can add, edit, or delete this data, but they will see the symbol shown. When a user hovers the mouse cursor over the symbol, a caution message will open, telling them that manual changes may cause data syncing issues with an external system.
- Restrict Editing
means users of this software cannot edit the information. The symbol will appear next to the inactive links. When users hover over the symbol, a message tells them that the system administrator has restricted editing of this feature.
To apply the same data setting all of the task areas, select Set All. Then, choose the setting you want and select Apply to All.
To make different setting selections for each category, select the setting you want to the right of each category. Note that the selection applies to the list of items covered by the category. For example, if you choose one of the options behind "General Set Up", your choice is also applied to school years, marking periods, school network and schools, and courses and classes.
- When you have finished setting the restrictions, select Save Changes. Select Undo Changes to reverse changes you made. To leave this page without changing the settings, select Back.
