Elimu Bora uses a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system. Each user is assigned one or more roles that define what they can view and which actions they can perform.

Administrative Roles

Full school oversight and system configuration.

Academic Roles

Teaching, grading, and classroom management.

Financial Roles

Fee collection, invoicing, and reporting.

Support Roles

Front office, library, and laboratory management.

​
Role Assignments

Roles are assigned during User Creation. A user can have multiple roles if they perform multiple functions in the school (e.g., a Teacher who is also a Department Head).

FAQs & Troubleshooting

Currently, Elimu Bora provides a comprehensive set of pre-defined roles optimized for Kenyan schools. If you have a unique requirement, contact support to discuss custom permission mapping.
Permissions are tied to both Role and Assignment. Ensure the teacher has the “Teacher” role AND is correctly assigned to the specific subject/stream in Curriculum → Subjects.
The system uses an additive permission model. The user will have the combined permissions of both roles (e.g., if one role allows Finance and another allows Attendance, they will see both).
