Student Account View
This is what a student account will look like when they log on. It is a much simpler view of the IRIS Connect platform with limited capabilities as outlined above.
Creating Student Accounts
Student accounts do not reduce the allocated user licence count for your organisation.
If you haven't created a user account before, we recommend taking a look at the guide on how to create a new user.
When creating a student account manually via the Create User + button, select Student for the user type.
If you are using CSV file to create multiple student accounts at once, it is important to enter Student under Licence type.
Alternatively, you can also generate a sign-up link that can be sent to students to allow them to create a student account. More information on how to do this can be found here.
