How do I invite a user to the Skie dashboard?

Skie for Enterprise · Updated

Short answer

From the users area, an admin invites a person by entering their details and choosing a role and the place in the hierarchy they will work at, such as a school, branch or group. The person then sets up their own access. They see only what that role and level allow, plus any pages you have switched on for the role.

Inviting is a two-part decision: which role, and at which level. A teacher is invited to a group, a branch head to a branch, a school admin to a school, an organisation admin to the whole organisation. The level decides what the person can see and act on.

You can invite someone only at or below your own level. A school admin can invite branch heads and teachers in their school, but cannot create an organisation admin. This keeps the delegation clean, since each person can hand out only what they hold.

Before inviting, check what the role can open. Page access can be switched per role, so a teacher role with location pages off will not see them regardless of who invites. Decide this once for each role, then invite.

After the invite, the person appears in the users list with their role and level. If they change job, you can disable them and invite them again in the new place. If they leave, disable them straight away.

Skie does not offer single sign-on yet, so each person has their own Skie access. It is something the team is working on, with no date. Until then, avoid shared accounts: they make the audit log useless and they make it hard to remove one person's access.

Practical tip: invite by role, not by name pattern. Create the role structure first, then add people, so you are not editing access one person at a time.
