Managing Auto Pass Access for Specific Students

Managing Auto Pass Access for Specific Students

In Securly Pass, the Auto Pass feature allows students to start and end passes without teacher approval for designated locations. However, there may be situations where you want to restrict certain students from accessing specific Auto Pass locations. This article outlines a workaround to manage Auto Pass access effectively.

Workaround Overview

To restrict a student's access to an Auto Pass location while still allowing them to move to a different location, follow these steps:

Step 1: Deny Access to the Auto Pass Location

1. Access Control Panel: Log in to your admin account and navigate to the Control Panel.
2. Limit Location Availability: Go to the "Limits" section and select "Limit Location Availability."
3. Set Access Denied: Choose the Auto Pass location you want to restrict. Set the access for the specific student to "Access Denied." This will prevent the student from seeing this location in their pass options.

Step 2: Create a New Location

1. Create New Location: Still in the Control Panel, create a new location that is not designated as an Auto Pass location.
2. Set Membership: Assign the student membership to this new location, allowing them to access it as needed.

Step 3: Communicate Changes

- Inform Students: Make sure to communicate the changes to the affected student(s) so they understand where they can go and how to use their passes.
- Teacher Awareness: Ensure that teachers are aware of the new location and the restrictions in place for specific students.

Important Notes

- This workaround allows for more tailored management of student movement while still utilizing the Auto Pass feature for other students.
- Regularly review the access settings to ensure they meet the needs of your school and its students.

Conclusion

By using this method, you can effectively manage Auto Pass access for specific students while maintaining the benefits of the Auto Pass feature for others. For further assistance or to discuss specific scenarios, please contact the Securly support team.
