Admin privileges/access rights

There are no separate admin accounts; all staff have equal permissions and can manage settings (e.g., Single Sign-On, class imports).

Key Contacts

Key Contacts are different from regular staff users and are listed mainly just for communication purposes. However, some key contacts may need access to Sparx; if so, you can add them via the Staff tab.

Users with roles like “Sparx Reader Leader”,“SLT- Line manager of English” or “Head of English” will appear in both staff and key contacts tabs.
