SkieCan we restrict who sees student location?
Yes. Page access can be switched on or off per role, so an organisation can decide which roles see location and which do not. A school might let administrators and the transport lead see it while teachers do not. Parents on school devices are read-only. The audit log records changes.
Location is one of the most sensitive things a device management system can show, so it makes sense to limit it. Skie's roles run from organisation admin through school admin, branch or section head and class admin or teacher, plus parents with read-only access to their own child's device.
Because page access can be switched per role, you can show the location pages to the people who need them and hide them from the rest. A hostel warden might need live location at night. A subject teacher usually does not need it at all. The setting is yours to choose and you can change it later.
Think about the purpose first. If location is for lost devices, you may want only a small group, perhaps the IT lead and one senior person, to open it. If it is for trips or transport, branch heads may need it on those days. A short written rule on who may look, and why, will keep curiosity from becoming a habit.
The audit log records who changed what, which helps when someone asks who had access. Combine it with a once-a-term review of the user list so that people who have left or changed jobs are removed.
A practical tip: start with the narrowest set of roles and add access when someone shows a need. It is far easier to widen a restriction than to explain why you opened it wide on day one.
