To give a registered staff member access to Team Manager, add them as Type: Team Manager in Access & Permissions. They can then use Team Manager and send Personal Notifications from it without approval. Full access is not needed unless they need Settings.
In this guide
1. Understand the access levels
Limited access
This is the default for a regular limited-access user added as Type: Team Manager in Access & Permissions.
- They can use Team Manager, except Settings.
- They can send Personal Notifications from Team Manager without approval.
No full-access upgrade needed. If the staff member does not need Settings, the school’s Team Manager assignment is enough. You do not need to ask Unique Schools to give them full access just to send Personal Notifications.
This Team Manager assignment does not give the user full publishing access for News or Notifications.
Full access
Full access includes Settings, where the nominated staff member can manage home venues, fixture types, push notifications and team-sheet visibility.
Only Unique Schools can assign full access through its admin panel. Schools cannot grant full access themselves. Contact staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie if a staff member needs Settings.
Full access also removes publishing approval. The user’s News, Notifications and Personal Notifications are published without needing approval. This is a wider permission change, not just access to Team Manager Settings. Do not request full access solely so a staff member can send Personal Notifications from Team Manager.
Full-access users still need Type: Team Manager in the school’s Access & Permissions to open Team Manager.
2. Give staff access to Team Manager
This assignment is required for both limited-access and full-access users. For a regular limited-access user, no change by Unique Schools is needed unless they require Settings.
A Principal, Deputy Principal or Admin user completes the school assignment:
- Sign in to uniqueschoolapp.ie and open Access & Permissions.
- Click Add.
- Enter a clear title, such as Team Manager or Coaches.
- Choose Type: Team Manager.
- Add the registered school email address of each staff member who needs to use Team Manager, whether they have full or limited access, then save the assignment.
Registration comes first. Use the email address the staff member registered with on the school app. For a regular limited-access user, this assignment enables Team Manager without Settings and allows Personal Notifications from Team Manager to be sent without approval. It does not grant full access.
3. Complete the initial setup
Full-access users only. A nominated staff member with full access completes the steps below. Limited-access users do not have Settings and can skip this section. If Settings is needed, contact Unique Schools; changing the school’s Team Manager assignment will not unlock it.
- Open Team Manager from the main Dashboard.
- Choose Settings in Team Manager.
- Under Home venues, add the venues used for fixtures and training.
- Under Fixture types, add the types your school uses, such as Friendly, League or Cup Match.
- Review Push Notifications for team communications.
- Choose whether to enable Show Team Sheet in App.
Review visibility before enabling it. The team-sheet setting controls whether team sheets are shown in the app. Choose the setting that matches your school's policy.
Next: create a sport
Once setup is complete, follow Creating Sports, then create teams, add students and schedule activities.
