Capturing Rights

Capturing Rights


Overview

The Marks Capturing Rights feature is used to manage which staff members are permitted to enter and edit learner marks within the Curriculum module. Rights can be assigned based on existing system roles (Subject Heads and Subject Group Teachers) or through manual allocation for specific administrative requirements.

My School > Curriculum > Curriculum Setup: Capturing Rights

Purpose of Feature

To maintain academic data integrity by ensuring only authorized personnel can modify marks. This module allows schools to define visibility baselines and grant moderation access to non-teaching staff (e.g., HODs or Principals).

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Configure Global Options (Options Tab)

Define the baseline visibility for the school:

  • Show subjects for which a user does not have capturing rights: * Enabled: Staff can view all subject marks across the school but can only edit their assigned classes.

    • Disabled: Staff only see subjects they are specifically authorized to capture/edit.

2. Manage Rights Per Staff Member (Per Staff Member Tab)

Use this to grant a single teacher access to multiple subjects or groups:

  1. Select the Staff Member, Year, Grade, Learning Program and/or Subjects.

  2. Left Box (Available): Displays Subject Groups currently unassigned to this user.

  3. Right Box (Assigned): Displays Subject Groups currently authorized for this user.

  4. Move items from left to right to grant access and click Save.

3. Manage Rights Per Subject (Per Subject Tab)

Use this to audit or assign multiple teachers to a single subject:

  1. Select the Year, Grade, Learning Program, and Subject.

  2. The table displays all staff currently authorized for that specific subject.

  3. Double-click a staff member's name or a subject group to open the allocation interface to add or remove users.

System Behaviour

  • Color-Coding Indicators:

    • Pink: Automatic rights granted to the designated Subject Head.

    • Blue: Automatic rights granted to the assigned Subject Group Teacher.

    • Black: Manual rights granted via the "Per Staff Member" or "Per Subject" tabs.

  • Module Syncing: If a teacher is updated under Curriculum > Subject Groups, the capturing rights update automatically.

Restrictions & Reasons

RestrictionReason / System Logic
Component LimitationsRights cannot be split at a component level (e.g., History vs. Geography) if they fall under one Subject. Data validation for departmental reporting requires marks to be managed at the unified Subject level.
User Role DependencyStaff must have "View and Change" rights for 2.2 Learner Marks in the Staff module. Without this permission, they will not appear in the allocation lists to protect academic security.
Annual RolloverRights are year-specific and must be re-verified during the year-end process. This ensures that historical access does not carry over to new academic roles erroneously.
Data IntegrityCertain global options are locked to ensure the primary teacher (Subject Group Teacher) always retains access to their own data.
