Chapter 3: nySTART
Administrator: An Administrator has access to all data and has the same administrative
capacities and responsibilities as an Executive Administrator. An Administrator cannot delete
or change the account of his/her Executive Administrator but can cancel or change the account
of another Administrator in the same entity. An Administrator can delete or change the account
of an Executive Administrator in an entity below that Administrator’s level. See example under
Executive Administrator.
Regular (Non-Administrative) Staff: A Regular Staff account holder has access to all data
but cannot access others’ accounts.
Limited Staff: A Limited Staff account holder has access to Summary Reports, Individual
Student Reports, and Assessment Reports, but not Verification Reports for the entity. A
Limited Staff account holder cannot access others’ accounts.
Teacher: A Teacher account is assigned at the school level only. Teacher account holders
have access to individual student data for students in their grade and the grade below them.
(For example, a Grade 4 teacher with Teacher account privileges will have access to studentlevel
data for Grade 4 and Grade 3 students in the school.) A Teacher account holder has
access to Individual Student Reports and Assessment Reports for the students in their grade
and the grade below them for their school. A Teacher account holder cannot access others’
accounts.
Note: BOCES-level users may see individual student data for those students enrolled in fulltime
approved BOCES school programs, but not for students who are taking classes without
being in an approved BOCES program (unless the students’ district of responsibility has
selected the check-box option in the Executive Administrator account’s nySTART
Administration module, which allows the BOCES access to these students).
