Introduction
All of our platforms pull from the same user management system. Consequently, when a user is added to one platform, they will be visible in the others at the same time, although they will not able to log in to the other platforms by default.
For example, if a staff member is added to the Boost Learning Admin Hub, then they will also appear in the Boost Insights Admin Hub under Teachers > Without Access.
The Access Coordinator for each platform can grant access to users as needed. They can also revoke access to users without having to permanently delete them from your Hodder Education account as a whole. This is to help you comply with GDPR and manage your users effectively.
Managing Staff Access to Boost Insights
Staff who have access to Boost Insights will be able to log in, assign tests, and view marksheets and reports. They will also be able to view the Admin Hub and may have user management permissions depending on their role.
If you add a teacher to the Boost Insights Admin Hub manually or by syncing with your MIS, then they will be granted access automatically. If they are added to your account via a different Admin Hub, then they will be placed in Teachers > Without Access.
Staff without access can submit an access request to the Access Coordinator by logging in to Boost Insights with their email address and password. When the Access Coordinator next logs in, they will be prompted to review these requests.
Alternatively, the Access Coordinator can grant and revoke access to staff via the Admin Hub. To grant access:
- Log in to Boost Insights as the Access Coordinator.
- Click the Admin Hub icon in the bottom left corner.
- Find the staff member you'd like to grant access to in Teachers > Without Access.
- Select them and click Grant Access to Selected in the bottom left.
Revoking access follows the same basic steps. However, you'll need to look for the staff you want to revoke access to under Teachers > With Access instead, then click Revoke Access in the bottom left.
Note that revoking access to a user is not the same as deleting them. If you would like to permanently delete a staff member from your school's Hodder Education account, click here.
Managing Learner Access to Boost Insights
Learners who have access to Boost Insights can be assigned and take interactive tests and will appear on marksheets and reports. They will not be able to log in to the platform directly at any point.
If you add a learner to Boost Insights manually or import them via MIS sync, they will be granted access automatically. If they are added to your account via a different Admin Hub, then they will be placed in Pupils > Without Access.
New starters are automatically synced from your MIS throughout the year and will be placed in Pupils > Without Access by default.
To grant access to your learners:
- Log in to Boost Insights as the Access Coordinator.
- Click the Admin Hub icon in the bottom left.
- Find the learner you'd like to grant access to in Pupils > Without Access.
- Select them and click Grant Access to Selected in the bottom left.
Revoking access follows the same basic steps. However, you'll need to look for the learners you want to revoke access to under Pupils > With Access instead, then select Revoke Access in the bottom left.
Note that revoking access to a user is not the same as deleting them. If you would like to permanently delete a learner from your school's Hodder Education account, click here.
