User Entities & User Roles

SACS User Roles

User roles play a critical part in the SACS Web System. User roles ensure dataset submissions and the workflow are properly followed. Additionally, certain roles provide SACS Web System maintenance and security. The following table illustrates each user role, permissions, whether that role is part of the submission workflow, and which role grants access to permissions.

SACS Entities

Entities are specific agencies involved with statutory financial reporting requirements. Entities include school districts, charter schools, COEs, JPAs, the State Board of Education, and CDE.

Each entity has specific roles that are applicable to its users. Each entity must have at least one user with the User Management role who may then assign other users within the entity the User Management role. The user with the User Management role will administer all entity users and assign permissions according to need.

The table below illustrates each entity type and the roles allowed for users of that particular entity.
