Manage licenses and permissions

Unique Learning System helps schools and districts deliver differentiated instruction while providing visibility into implementation, usage, and student progress.

Configure subscriptions, assign permissions, and ensure staff have the access they need to successfully use Unique Learning System.

Understanding roles and permissions

A successful implementation starts with giving the right people the right level of access. Depending on their responsibilities, staff may need different permissions within the platform.

Common roles include:

Subscription Manager

Manages licenses, subscriptions, user accounts, and permissions across the district or school.

Administrator

Monitors implementation, reviews usage and reporting data, and supports educators throughout rollout.

Educator / Classroom Owner

Manages students, classes, assignments, and instructional content.

Service Provider

Supports student services and may require access to student information and planning tools.

Need help deciding which permissions to assign each user?

Managing subscriptions

Whether adding a single user or importing staff in bulk, each user should:

  • Receive the correct subscription
  • Receive the correct grade band
  • Register using their invitation email

Add users and assign licenses

Subscription Managers can add educators and staff individually or through bulk import.

When adding a user:

  • Add the staff member's name and email address
  • Assign the appropriate subscription(s)
  • Select the correct grade band(s)
  • Assign any required permissions or administrative roles
  • Send the registration invitation

Once assigned, the user will receive an email invitation and must complete registration through that email before they can access the platform.

Quick implementation checklist

Before moving on, confirm that:

  • Subscription Managers are registered
  • Staff licenses have been assigned
  • Appropriate permissions have been configured
  • Grade bands have been assigned
  • Registration invitations have been sent
  • Key implementation team members have access

Once staff have access, it's time to prepare your implementation structure and support educators through onboarding and classroom setup.

District and school setup

Prepare your implementation structure before rolling out Unique Learning System to educators and students.

Implementation checklist

A successful implementation typically follows these five steps:

1 Complete administrator registration

Subscription Managers and Administrators must first activate their own accounts.

After receiving your invitation email:

  • Open the registration link
  • Complete your account setup
  • Accept the Terms of Use and COPPA agreements
  • Confirm access to the Administrator Dashboard

Your account must be fully registered before you can assign licenses, manage users or monitor implementation.

2 Add faculty and assign licenses

Once administrative access is established, add educators and service providers to the platform.

For each user:

  • Assign the appropriate subscription
  • Assign the appropriate grade band
  • Apply any required permissions
  • Send the registration invitation

Teachers must complete registration through their invitation email before they can begin setting up classrooms.

Whenever possible, assign grade bands that align with the chronological grade levels of the students. For example, Preschool, Elementary K–2, Intermediate 3–5, etc.

3 Create an administrator sample classroom

Administrators can create a sample classroom to better understand the educator experience.

A sample classroom allows you to:

  • View lessons and activities
  • Explore grade-band content
  • Experience the platform from a teacher perspective
  • Better support educators during implementation

This is particularly useful for leaders who do not have a dedicated teaching license.

4 Support student rostering

After teachers are registered, they will begin building their classroom structures.

Educators typically:

  • Add or locate student accounts
  • Assign students to programs
  • Select grade levels and grade bands
  • Configure differentiated levels
  • Organize students into instructional groups

Administrators may also assist with student setup and roster management when required.

5 Prepare monitoring and oversight

Implementation should include a plan for ongoing monitoring and support. Administrators should become familiar with:

Administrator Dashboard

Use dashboard widgets to monitor:

  • License utilization
  • Student profile completion
  • Assignment activity
  • Teacher and student logins

Staff Usage Summary Export

Review usage regularly to:

  • Track adoption
  • Identify highly engaged staff
  • Identify educators who may need additional support
  • Monitor overall implementation progress

We recommend reviewing usage data at least quarterly.

  • Identify inactive users
  • Monitor login frequency
  • Review assessment completion
  • Target implementation support where needed

Best practice: Review this report at least quarterly.

Step 2 Review student outcomes

Once educators are actively using the platform, begin reviewing student performance data.

Daily Performance Reports

Use these reports to understand:

  • Assignment completion
  • Student accuracy
  • Standards mastery
  • Performance trends

These reports help identify areas where additional instructional support may be needed.

Benchmark Reports

Benchmark reports help measure growth over time.

Administrators can use these reports to:

  • Monitor progress toward learning goals
  • Identify district-wide trends

  • Support data-driven decision making

Checkpoint Reports

Checkpoint reports compare pre- and post-instruction performance.

These reports help administrators understand:

  • Whether instruction is having the desired impact
  • Areas of growth
  • Areas requiring additional support
Step 3 Use data to guide action

The goal of reporting is not simply collecting data, it is using that information to support implementation.

Consider:

  • Celebrating highly engaged educators
  • Identifying schools or classrooms that may need additional support
  • Sharing successful implementation examples
  • Targeting professional learning opportunities
  • Monitoring progress toward district goals

Running reports

Most reports can be accessed through the Reports area.
