Set up district and site users for District Classroom Library Manager

Both district-level and site-level users in Destiny Library Manager can access District Classroom Library Manager.

Access levels regulate what users can see and do in Destiny, while roles determine what actions users can perform in District Classroom Library Manager. Roles are assigned to a Destiny access level. Depending on how access levels are managed in your district, either a Destiny Administrator or a site-level administrator can set access levels and roles.

A user that needs access to all the classroom libraries in the district should be set up as a district-level administrator. A district administrator can view classroom directories, set audience levels and push them to all classrooms in their district, create classroom libraries, add titles, share links, and more.

A user that only needs access to the classroom libraries at their site should be set up as a site-level administrator. A site administrator can view classroom directories and share links.

Notes:
