The School Signals has four different user types and additional admin rights per feature.
School Admins
School Admins are the platform's admins assigned by the school. You could add an administrator or a teacher to be a School Admin for the system. You can add as many School Admins as needed.

Feature Specific Admins
School admins and teachers can be additionally be set as feature-specific admins. For instance, they may act as Group Admins, Volunteer Admins, and Event Admins. In that case, they will be notified of user activity related to the group, volunteering, or event. Additionally, while School Admins can, by default, access and manage all content - giving teacher admin rights provides the teacher with full rights to edit and manage the particular listing.
