Entity vs Individual Account

 

ClassSwift offers two types of accounts tailored to different user needs and teaching environments:


Entity Account

  • Designed for: Districts & Schools.
  • Key Characteristics:
    • Managed through a centralized admin panel on ClassSwift Hub
    • Supports integration with rostering systems like ClassLink/Clever
    • Enables bulk import of teacher
    • Provides organization-wide analytics and usage reports
  • User Roles within Entity Account:
    • Admin/Owner: Sets up the organization, manages rosters, and monitors usage through ClassSwift Hub.
    • Teacher: Assigned to pre-rostered classes; conducts session using ClassSwift App.
    • Student: Joins classes through accounts provisioned by the entity.

 

Individual Account

  • Designed for: Independent educators, tutors, or trial users managing their own classroom setup.
  • Key Characteristics:
    • Self-service sign-up
    • Ideal for personal use
    • Act as both admin and teacher simultaneously, using the same tools and functionality available to entity users
  • User Roles within Individual Account:
    • Teacher: Acts as the sole admin of their own account. Teachers can roster students manually before class or share a Quick Join link (or QR code) to let students join instantly without prior setup.
    • Student: Joins classes using the link or QR code shared by the teacher. No pre-rostered account is required.
