There are a number of things that can prevent a PowerSchool user from accessing the Administrator Portal:
- The user's State UID number MUST be entered into the StatePrid field in PowerSchool for a user to login (this is true for all LEA users - teachers, students and administrators)
- Check to make sure the user does not have TWO (or more) Admin records/accounts in PowerSchool. If more than one exists, they must be deleted, and the remaining account must satisfy item #1 above.
- There must be BOTH a username and password in the PowerSchool security screen for the user. It can be anything (doesn't have to match the IAM Service username and password), but neither can be blank.
- If a user is both a TEACHER and an ADMINISTRATOR in PowerSchool, both accounts must have something in the username and password fields, and both checkboxes to allow access must be checked.
- In some cases (reported by users and testing by the HBSC), if a user is ONLY an Administrator, but has a Teacher account, then the username and password fields in BOTH must have something in them, however, the Teacher account access checkbox would remain unchecked.
- If the reverse of #5 is true, then the opposite records should be configured as described in #5.
(More information will be provided on this page as we get more input from users, Pearson and the HBSC).
