To ensure the highest level of data security when using our digital products, we have changed how user access works for Compass. We have introduced new account types that have different access permissions. Accounts are now managed institutionally which means that all Compass evaluations and Tracker plans (if applicable) will be seen by everyone who has an account within the same institution.
Please note: You will need written consent from an Enterprise Coordinator or a member of your Senior Leadership Team in order to have Admin or Editor rights.
Please see the list below detailing the permissions for each account type:
