Understanding User Roles and Permissions

Each user in TIDE has a role, such as a district-level user or a test administrator-level user. Each role has an associated list of permissions to access certain features within TIDE.

For a complete list of user roles and access levels, User Role Chart available in the Resources section of the WY Assessment Portal, http://wyoassessment.org.

There is a hierarchy to user roles. As indicated in Figure 2, the state-level role is at the top of the hierarchy, followed by the district-level roles, followed by the school-level roles. Generally, user roles that are higher in the hierarchy have access to more sensitive or critical data and tasks within TIDE.
