DSAs and Application Administrators
DSAs
This role is assigned to at least one person in your district (generally the District Administrator or the person in an equivalent role), though it is a best practice to have at least one staff member assigned as a delegate DSA. This role allows the DSA to assign app admins, who then assigning and managing user roles within the specific applications.
The DSA receives app admin and user access to all current DPI applications.
For detailed information relevant to DSAs, visit the WISEsecure Tasks for DSAs webpage.
Application Administrators
App admins can grant access to and assign user roles for specific WISE applications, as designated by the DSA. An app admin can also revoke user roles for their specific application(s). If you are an app admin, refer to the Assign Access to WISEhome Applications for information on how to use WISEsecure to review access requests and assign user roles.
Each application can have an assigned app admin if the DSA elects to assign one; app admins are optional. The app admin can be the same person or different people for each application. There can be multiple app admins for an application, depending on the needs of each educational organization.
- The DSA determines whether or not an application needs an app admin assigned, and the DSA assigns app admin roles.
- Once the app admin is assigned, they can manage user roles in WISEsecure.
