Overview
You are a person not working at the school (eg: Parent) and would like to add/update information on the school's School Loop site by yourself.
Solution
A School Loop account with the appropriate rights is necessary to edit any part of the School Loop website. Non-school employees cannot have these rights for the School Loop sites directly. So, below workaround steps can be done by the non-school employees to have editing rights for the School Loop site:
- Place a request with the School Administrator (usually the Principal and/or Assistant Principals) to create an
Associateaccount for you as shown in the Creating New User Accounts in School Loop article. They only need your name and email address to create this type of account. The contact information of the Principal and/or Assistant Principals can be generally found in the Staff Directory or a Contact Us page on your school's School Loop site. - When placing the request for the account creation, also mention that you need edit access to which section/s on the School Loop website or to the complete School Loop website:
- If you want to edit the entire site, then, Webmaster rights will be provided to you.
- If you want to edit only some section/s of the site (eg: Parents section), then, Editor/Contributor rights will be provided to you. This article also explains the difference between Editor and Contributor rights. You should provide the exact link/URL to the page/s for which you need edit access
- After the new account has been created with the appropriate rights granted, login to this account from your School Loop portal.
- Click
My Sites. - Click the site/section for which access has been granted to you. Note: In case this site/section is not listed, then, proper rights have not been granted to you for that page and you need to contact the School Administrator for the same.
- You will be taken to an edit page where the information on the site can be edited and different modules can be added/edited (ignore steps 1 to 3 in this article).
