This page is only available to users who log on to TeacherPortal with a district- or campus-level security administrator user ID.

This page allows you to select the instructor for whom you want to log in with administrator privileges. After you select an instructor from this page, you can access txGradebook as if you were that instructor; however, there are some differences:

The Admin menu is displayed in the main menu. Click Admin to return to this page to select another instructor.
In the Settings menu, the Update Admin Profile menu item appears instead of Update Profile.

There are multiple levels of administrator access:

Full maintenance access - You can perform all functions, including saving, posting, and printing.
Inquiry-only access - You can view all pages, but all buttons (except Print buttons) are disabled. Even if you change data in a field, you cannot save changes, so all changes will be lost when you leave the page. Inquiry-only users can print data.

Any changes you make while you are logged in as an administrator are logged with the administrator user ID. This allows you to distinguish between changes actually made by the instructor and changes made by an administrative user.

Select instructor:

If you are a discipline-only user for a campus, the campus is only listed in the drop down allowed by the district.

The list is filtered according to the selected campus and includes all teachers at the campus who currently have a user ID for TeacherPortal.

The list is sorted alphabetically by the teacher's last name and includes the instructor ID.
