Setting Teacher Permissions

Control what each teacher can see and do in your studio.

Last updated: September 6, 2026

  1. 1

    Open the teacher's profile

    Go to Teachers in the sidebar, then click the teacher whose permissions you want to configure.

  2. 2

    Go to the Permissions tab

    Click the Permissions tab. This tab appears for teachers (not admins) once you're signed in as an admin. If you haven't invited them yet, you'll see Permissions Not Available — send the invite from their profile with Send Setup Email first.

  3. 3

    Configure their access

    Toggle each permission on or off:

    Take Attendance — take attendance on their own lessons
    Manage Schedule — add, edit, and delete their own lessons
    Manage Students — add, edit, and delete all students (teachers can already see their assigned students without this)
    Manage Teachers — add, edit, and delete all teachers
    Manage Financials — view and manage tuition, rentals, transactions, and products
    View Analytics — see the full Dashboard, including studio-wide stats and Instrument Popularity

  4. 4

    Save

    Click Save Permissions. You'll see Permissions saved!

Tips

  • Admins automatically have full management access, including Settings. They still can't change your MusicDesk account or studio billing — even with every teacher permission turned on.
  • For most studios, Take Attendance and Manage Schedule are the permissions teachers need day to day.
