Add/Edit IEP User

Adding or editing user accounts for the MD Online IEP begins by locating the Admin Interface which is within the Admin tab of the MD Online IEP and is only accessible if user was assigned administration permissions.

Select Add/Edit IEP User on the navigation panel to add a user to the MD Online IEP tool.  Minimum fields to be completed: First Name, Last Name, User Group, Email, Username and Password.  For School Based Administrators or Teachers choosing to create an account for someone, the County and School will be filled in by default.  County Level/Data Managers will have only County filled in by default and will need to add School to School Based Administrator or Teacher accounts. The page will error if all required fields are not completed correctly.

There are 5 user groups available for access to the Maryland Online IEP system.

MSDE Staff-  These users can access any student in the IEP system via a search.

County Level/Data Manager-  These users supervise or work with students enrolled in a public agency or manage the special education data for a Local School System.  There are many user access rights available that can be assigned to a County Level/ Data Manager.

School-based Administrator-  These users work at the school level.  They are administrators or teachers/providers who are working with students within a particular school and can be assigned to more than one school/location.  They can view data of any student in the school and can be given rights to add students to the IEP system.

Teacher Level- These users work at the classroom or caseload level.  They are teachers/providers who are working with students in one or more schools.  They have rights to view data for only students who are assigned to their caseload.  A student can be added to the teacher caseload by a SBA or County Level/Data manager.  Teachers can be assigned to more than one school/location.  Teachers can not add students to the IEP system.

Nonpublic user- These users work at nonpublic schools and can be a School Based Admin, or Teacher.  Nonpublic users may only add students to the IEP system who are from Local School Systems (LSS) not using the MD Online IEP.  Students from LSS's using the MD Online IEP will have an active IEP before placement at the nonpublic and therefore the case may be accessed in the usual lookup manner.

Once a User Level is chosen the corresponding permissions that are available for that group will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.  For more information regarding permissions see User Access Permissions.
