Teaching staff accounts cover the three staff roles in Zion: administrator, supervisor, and monitor. Administrators manage these accounts from a staff directory, the invitation flow, and each user’s detail page. This page is administrator only.
‘Teaching Staff’ is a directory label, not a separate role. Every account listed here holds one of three roles: administrator, supervisor, or monitor. Students and parents have their own accounts and are not managed on these pages.

The staff directory

Two pages list the same staff accounts:
  • Teaching Staff (/teaching-staff), reached from the sidebar under People & Centres
  • Users (/settings/users), reached from the Settings tab bar
Both list every user with the administrator, supervisor, or monitor role, showing each person’s assigned learning centres and a set of stat tiles (Total Staff, Administrators, Supervisors, and on the Teaching Staff page, Monitors). Both pages have an ‘Invite Teaching Staff’ button. The Users page also shows a Pending Invitations table above the staff list, with email, role, sent date, status, and Resend or Revoke actions for each invite that hasn’t been accepted yet.

Inviting a teaching staff member

1

Open the invite form

From either the Teaching Staff page or Settings > Users, click ‘Invite Teaching Staff’.
2

Enter the email and role

Enter the invitee’s email address and choose a role: Administrator, Supervisor, or Monitor.
3

Assign learning centres

If the role is Monitor, you must select at least one learning centre. Monitors can only access students in their assigned centres. If the role is Supervisor, centre assignment is optional; supervisors use assigned centres for approvals and reporting. If the role is Administrator, any selected centres are cleared since administrators are not centre-scoped.
4

Add an optional welcome message

Add a custom message, up to 500 characters, to include in the invitation email.
5

Submit

Zion sends an invitation email through Clerk so the invitee can set a password and join. The invite appears in the Pending Invitations table until accepted.

Pending invitations

On Settings > Users, the Pending Invitations table lists every invite that hasn’t been accepted, with the invitee’s email, role, and the date it was sent. From this table you can:
  • Resend the invitation email
  • Revoke the invitation before it’s accepted

User detail and edit

Clicking a staff member opens their user detail page (/settings/users/[userId]), which shows:
  • Account information: email, joined date, and assigned learning centres
  • Edit form: name, role, and centre re-assignment
  • Assigned Roles: any custom roles layered additively on top of the built-in role
  • Effective Permissions: the resolved set of permissions from the built-in role plus any assigned custom roles, with the source of each permission shown
  • Recent Activity: a history panel of the user’s actions

Deactivate and reactivate a user

1

Open the user's detail page

Go to Settings > Users and select the account.
2

Deactivate

Click ‘Deactivate User’ in the Account Information card. Confirm in the dialog. Deactivating blocks the user from logging in, removes them from the organization, and preserves their data for audit.
3

Reactivate

A deactivated user can be reactivated later. Reactivating restores their organization membership and their previous role.

Resetting a user’s onboarding

The user detail page has a Reset Onboarding action for administrators who need to walk a staff member through the getting-started guide again, for example when re-training someone on the team. Resetting clears the user’s onboarding completion and step progress so the guide starts over from the beginning the next time they sign in.

Learning Centres

Create centres, set capacity, and assign staff to a centre’s roster.

Roles & Permissions

Layer custom roles on top of built-in roles and review effective permissions.
