Changes in PowerSchool to resolve “security violation” error
Posted on 08/07/2019

Effective Thursday, August 8, the following changes will be made to PowerSchool to resolve the "security violation" error mentioned in a previous announcement.

  • Remote Transfer security role - This role will be automatically added to user accounts in PowerSchool. Schools do NOT need to assign this role to any staff. When providing access to new employees in PowerSchool, please note that the Remote Transfer role will appear the day after access has been provided. After this role has been added to a user's account, the "security violation" error will no longer appear when using certain pages in PowerSchool Administrator.
  • Security Settings page - The second tab of the Security Settings page will no longer allow school users to make changes to security for the District Office "school." If changes are needed for a user's access to District Office, please contact the IT Help Desk for assistance. Please note the Remote Transfer role will be hidden from the list of security roles school sites can see when making changes to permissions on the Security Settings page.
  • Schools should NOT email Julie Schmidt after Thursday, August 8 for assistance. Instead, please contact the IT Help Desk.
