#How to create classes, branches, and users?

Say you have 3 branches (San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York), 4 classes in each branch, and 30 students in each class.

You create classes → branches → teachers → students:

1. First, you create the classes.
2. Second, you create the branches.
3. Third, you create users for teachers & managers.
4. Finally, you add students to each class.

#1. How to create classes/courses?

• In the homepage, click "+ Create Class" to create a new class.
  
• First you create one class with new Material; let's call it the Master class.
• Then each other class you create can import the same course Material from the Master class.
• Editing the Material in one class will automatically update all other classes sharing the same course Material.

#2. How to create branches/schools?

• Under My School ⋯, click the "+ Create School" button, and input the branch name.
  
• Inside each branch, click the "Classes" tab, and click "+ Add Class" to associate the desired classes with this branch.

#3. How to create teacher & manager accounts?

• Under the Admin Users tab, click the "Create User" button to create a new user.
  
• Input the Email, Password, and Name of the user to create.
• Once the user is created, their profile will show up. By default, they will be created as a Student.
• To change their role, click the "Edit" button at the top of the user's profile and change their role to Principal/Teacher and click "Save".
  
• Now click the "+ Add to School" and "+ Add to Class" buttons to add this user to the relevant branches & classes.

#4. How to create user accounts for students?

• Click on a class, then go to the Students tab.
• There you will see an "Import from Excel" button - click it. (Note: Only admins & users with permission "Can manage users" can use this functionality. You can edit a user's permission under their profile, under the Admin Users tab.)
  
• Create an Excel with 3 columns: Names, Emails, and Passwords for up to 40 students to import.
• Select everything in the Excel, and copy-paste it into the Import dialog.
• Note: If you omit the Passwords column, the platform will auto-generate random passwords for users, and display them to you before user creation.

#Roles

On custom installations of the brainko platform for institutions, Admins typically create user accounts & classes (users cannot change their role or create classes). In this case:

• Admins can change their own role to Teacher/Principal to create classes & branches.
• Admins can add users to classes & branches through their profile. For example, to add a teacher to a class, simply edit their profile & change their role to Teacher, then click "Add to Class" and select the class.
  

Within their class, teachers have more capabilities than students. For example, teachers can accept new students into the class, change class settings, and delete posts on the class feed.

#Permissions

Institution Admins can change a user's permission by editing their profile:

• Admin: Admins can see all schools/branches, all classes, and all users on the platform.
• Can manage users: Can create user accounts & import users from Excel to class; can edit user profiles.
• Can edit material: A teacher with this permission will be able to edit course material & add questions.

Note: An admin user will have all the other permissions even if they're not toggled.
