Switch between available roles

Move between the roles your account holds without signing out.

Some people have more than one role — for example a teacher who is also a guardian. One account holds them all, and you switch between them whenever you need to.

Who this is for

Users whose account has more than one role assigned.

Before you start

  • An account with two or more roles. With a single role there is nothing to switch — the option does not appear.

Steps

Open the profile menu

In the sidebar, open your profile menu at the bottom.

Choose a role under Switch Role

The menu lists every role on your account under Switch Role. The role you are currently using is marked with a check.

Confirm the workspace changed

Selecting a role reloads the workspace for that role — the sidebar, pages, and available actions all change to match it.

Each role is a separate workspace

Switching does not sign you out. It changes what you see: an admin workspace, a teacher workspace, or a guardian workspace — each with its own menu.

If a role is missing

If a role you expect is not listed, your account does not have it yet. Roles are assigned by an administrator — ask them to add it.
