Password must be at least 8 digits and must be entered twice to confirm.
First/Last Name is the name that will be on the forms. It does not necessarily have to be unique like the username.
Phone will be used for contact information on the forms and in the program
Email Address should be your work email, and is important to be input correctly as it will be used for the Reset Password and other functions.
User Access Roles: This is where the user is assigned their level of access to SIRAS. The default is "General User". See Access Roles Help for more information.
"Reset Password" button: removes the existing password and replaces it with a default generic password, which must be updated the next time the user logs in.
"Deactivate User" button: to revoke access when a user leaves the district
Manage Users Guide
There are 2 main user groups:
- General User: General Users are linked directly to their students. They will only have the ability to manage their own account and will see "My Account" instead of "Manage Users" in this area. These users will not typically have any User Access Roles.
- Admin User: Administrative users are granted access at the school, district or SELPA level, with various specific permissions, depending on how the User Access Roles are configured.
"Choose User" button: to modify an account you must first locate the user account. Enter a few letters of the user name (first or last, whatever is most unique). Use the filters to the right to locate groups of users with common districts/schools or common user access levels.
"Create New User" button: is used to create a new user. SIRAS will not allow duplicate users. If trying to create a new users and you get an error message indicating that a user with the same name already exists you will need to contact the SELPA CASEMIS Clerk or [email protected] who can Reactivate the user or Transfer or Add the user to your district/school.
When creating a new user,
- Make sure to use firstname.lastname all lower case as the username.
- Click the Assign Default Password
- Fill in the First name
- Fill in the Last name
- Fill in their work email (must be unique)
- Click the Create New User button
- Once the User account has been created, please note the temporary password displayed at top of page.
