Teacher Role

The Teacher role is used for staff who work directly with students and run academic workflows.

Overview

Teachers can:

• View groups and students
• Run attendance workflows
• Create assignments and follow submissions
• Create exams or enter results
• Participate in study-session workflows
• Create announcements

Optional Teacher Group Scope

Perigma now supports an optional group assignment layer for teachers.

• If no groups are assigned to a teacher, the default behavior stays the same and the teacher can work with all groups in their branch scope.
• If at least one group is assigned, the teacher is restricted to only those groups and the active students inside them.
• This rule is enforced not only in the UI but also in backend queries and write operations.

That means a restricted teacher can only:

• See assigned groups in Groups
• See students from assigned groups in Students
• Start attendance sessions only for assigned groups
• Create Assignments, Exams, Study Sessions, and similar workflows only for in-scope groups and students
• Target only in-scope groups and students in Announcements

Where Assignments Are Managed

Teacher group assignments are managed from the Staff Detail page, not by teachers themselves.

• Only roles that can manage staff, such as Administrator and Manager, can change this setting.
• The assignment card is shown only for staff whose role is Teacher.
• Leaving the assignment list empty means all groups remain available.

Restrictions

Teachers cannot:

• Create new student or guardian records
• Work on out-of-scope groups or students
• Manage financial modules
• Change institution settings
• Manage SMS settings
• Change their own group assignments

Example Scenario

• If a teacher has no assignments, they still see all branch groups such as A1, A2, and B1.
• If the same teacher is later assigned only A1 and A2:
  • B1 disappears from group lists
  • B1 students disappear from student lists
  • the teacher can no longer create attendance, assignments, exams, or announcements for B1

Summary

This gives institutions two operating modes without changing the default product behavior: keep teachers open across the branch, or explicitly narrow them to the groups they are responsible for.
