The MasteryPrep platform supports a number of roles, from Organization Admin to Student. Each role comes with a different set of permissions and visibility, ensuring that every user has access to features and tools that are customized to their unique position.
User Roles Overview
Educators
There are four types of roles available to educators: Organization Admin, District Admin, School Admin, and Teacher.
- Organization Admin — Organization admins run multi-district organizations, such as a state DOE or large charter network. They have access to all admins and students in their organization.
- District Admin — District admins run a specific district. These admins are often district-level coordinators. They have access to all district admins, school admins, and students in their district.
- School Admin — School admins run a specific school. These admins are often lead teachers or school counselors. They have access to all school admins and students in their school.
- Teacher — A teacher is responsible for the students assigned to their classes. Teachers can belong to multiple schools, but they only have access to students who have been specifically assigned to them.
Students
All students in the platform are assigned to the student role. This role gives them access to their courses and all associated features, such as the Study Plan and Practice Tests.

Best Practices
- Use Users and Groups to make sure every user has the correct role.
- The educator roles have overlapping access and views, so you can run a general training for all educators.
- If you have trouble seeing a view or completing an action, reach out to your administrator or to MasteryPrep customer support. You may need your role upgraded.
Summary
User roles define what each person can see and do on the platform, from Organization Admins with full access to Students with course-only access. Permissions vary by role, controlling visibility of views and actions such as managing users, assigning licenses, and using teaching tools.
