Threat Assessment Security

Threat Assessment Security

Threat Assessments are likely to contain sensitive information that should not be available to most PowerSchool users. Once you have identified which security groups require access to a student's Threat Assessment page, you can restrict access to it. (Depending on how you handle the report page, the same process applies to restricting access to that.)

  1. Navigate to System Management -> Security -> Configure Page Permissions for All GroupImage showing the click path through the interface via the System Management menu, then Security, and the Configure Page Permissions for All Groups
  2. Use the Search box on the page to limit the results to just those that contain the word "Threat".

  3. Set all Groups to "No Access" and, for those groups you've identified as needing access, grant them read or edit permissions.
