Roles & permissions
Owners, teachers, students and parents each see exactly what they should — with an editable capability matrix.
Everyone in Classable sees a surface tailored to their role.
The default roles
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| Owner | Manage the org, invite teachers, create classes and subjects, import students, see all reports and timesheets. |
| Teacher | Run sessions, take attendance, see reports for the classes/subjects they teach, chat, share materials. |
| Student | Check in by scanning, see own attendance, timetable and report; chat. |
| Parent | Read-only access to their child's report via an access code — no account needed. |
Editable capability matrix
Permissions aren't fixed. Each organization has an editable capability matrix, and you can override permissions down to an individual member. Open Roles & Access to tailor exactly what each role — or person — can do.
Roles & Access and the audit log are included on every plan, and Sign in with Google is available to everyone.
Multiple schools
A teacher can be a member of several organizations with different roles and switch between them from the workspace switcher.
