Assumptions

The student record has already been created, and this article describes how you can change the login details and security levels assigned to that record.

You have an understanding that:

  • One or more different security levels can be assigned to a student's Login ID at any time;

  • The highest security level assigned to a student , is the one that is used each time the student logs in; and

  • The highest security level assigned to a student may allow that student to change the login details and security levels of other students.

Student Access Level

Some system functions require high-level access permission because performing those functions can have system-wide implications. A student should never be granted permission to run any such high-level functions, and should only ever be able to change their own login details, and no one else's details.

A student should only ever be assigned an access level of STUDENT ACCESS LEVEL from the drop box. When the student record is loaded, the access level appears as STUDENT in the Security Group column of the ASSIGNED SECURITY FOR USER LOGIN section. Many records can appear in the list for this student, each with a From Date and a Thru Date for historical records that may have expired.

If a student record shows any access level rows for any Security Group other than STUDENT, those rows should be removed.

Current Password Policy

The current password policy is customised per institution so you will need to contact your "nominated contact person" or other Paradigm expert experts for details of the current password policy. An example password policy is that a password must contain:

  • a minimum of 8 characters,

  • a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, and

  • at least one number.

Sample Student Password Reset Email Template

Sample student password reset email template

For users who can read HTML, the default email template code is described below. Note that the template uses a number of additional labels that may be edited as a normal label within Paradigm.

  • reset_user_login_password_emailHtmlHeader: a generic label that is included as a header in the body of the email template

  • reset_user_login_password_emailHtmlHeader: a generic label that is included as a footer in the body of the email template

The template also includes a form field ("reset_user_login_password_email_userLoginId") that allows the provider to turn on or off the advice that students may also use their email address to access the system.

WARNING: Extreme care must be taken to ensure that each student is given an access level that limits them to change only the details for their own student record.

NOTE:

  1. For all students, the ASSIGNED SECURITY FOR USER LOGIN Form section at the top of the page should either be empty, or contain one record in the list, showing STUDENT in the Security Group column.

  2. The student level login access is automatically added by the system, when the minimum details have been provided for a student. If the top section shows an empty list, the system needs more details for this student before a login can be created. 

    1. Refer to the article Student - Add New for more information on completing the minimum details required by the system to create an operationally viable record.

  3. If the ASSIGNED SECURITY FOR USER LOGIN section shows any records with a Security Group field that shows anything other than STUDENT, then for each of those rows:

    1. Click the REMOVE SECURITY button for each of those rows,

    2. Click the OK button on the popup window, to confirm that you want to delete the record.

  4. If the ASSIGNED SECURITY FOR USER LOGIN section is empty, use the drop box to choose Student Access Level and click the ASSIGN SECURITY button to save the record.

  5. When the new row appears in the ASSIGNED SECURITY FOR USER LOGIN section, and STUDENT appears in the Security Group column, proceed to step number
