General

I cannot access my Two-Factor Authentication code

After receiving a new device, you'll need to remove your current two-factor authentication (2FA) to re-establish it as the existing 2FA cannot be transferred to a new account. Please contact your super admin for assistance with this process. If you're a super admin yourself, our Support Team is ready to help you remove 2FA from your account.

I am trying to add a new user, but I get a message saying the email is already in use

If you receive a message that an email is already in use, follow these steps:

1. Check Active Users First

  • Go to Site Management from your dashboard

  • Select User Management

  • Search for the email address in question

  • If found, the user already has an active account

2. If Not Found, Check Disabled Users

  • While in User Management, click the Filter button

  • Select Disabled Users from the dropdown

  • Enter the email in the search field

3. Re-enable the User (if found disabled)

  • Locate the user in your filtered results

  • Click the action menu (:) beside their name

  • Select Enable User

This will restore the user's access without creating a duplicate account.

My user is not receiving the password reset link to reset their password

If your accounts don't use Google SSO or Azure AD (Office 365), simply contact our Support Team with the relevant email address, and we'll assist with troubleshooting the email delivery with our system.

For accounts integrated with LDAP (Active Directory), Google SSO or Azure AD (Office 365), never request a password reset through the Edlio admin site, as this will damage the LDAP/SSO/Azure connection. If a user has already initiated a password reset for an LDAP/SSO/Azure-enabled account, please contact our Support Team with the affected email address for assistance with repairing the compromised integration.

As the district-level administrator using the Username: Admin, why am I unable to access other admin sites through the Multisite Management feature?

The default super admin account (Username: Admin) lacks Multisite Management capabilities. To enable administration across multiple sites, contact our Support Team to activate the Multiple Super Admin feature. This enhancement allows additional accounts to receive super admin privileges, giving them full access to the Multisite Management Feature across all admin sites on your account.


Manage User Access

How can I move a user account within one school admin site to another?

Creating an account in a new admin site is most efficiently done through the Multisite Management Feature available in the district admin site. This requires the user to have an existing account within the district admin site.

If you wish to restrict a user's district-level access while still granting them permissions at specific schools, simply assign them "Minimal Access" at the district level and configure appropriate permissions at the individual school level.

How can I give a standard user access to a specific page?

Currently, our system allows for granular permission control at the section level rather than entire pages. To grant users access to specific page sections:

  1. Go to User Management

  2. Find your team member's name in the list

  3. Click the three dots (โ‹ฎ) beside their name

  4. Choose Edit Profile from the menu that appears

  5. Look for the Categories & Sections option and click it

  6. Find the specific content section you want them to edit

  7. Check the box labeled Edit Access next to that section

  8. Click the blue Save button at the bottom

How can I elevate a user to be a web admin?

If you need to create website administrators or elevate user access, your super administrator can perform these actions.

Can I restrict a user's access in the admin site?

To grant a user basic login privileges to the admin site with minimal permissions, assign them the Standard User role. For more granular control, you can enhance their access to specific features by modifying their profile settings under the "Additional Access" section

Why can't I edit a user account?

This restriction occurs if the account in question has website administrator privileges. In our user management platform, only super administrators have the authority to modify or edit website administrator accounts. Website administrators cannot edit other website administrators' accounts and are limited to managing standard user accounts only. If you need to edit a website administrator account, please contact your super administrator for assistance.
