Users: Overview
All users must be added to TOMS during each test administration year. Prior to any roles being assigned, the superintendent must complete the steps to create a TOMS account. Once the account has been created, the superintendent designates the primary LEA CAASPP coordinator and the primary LEA ELPAC coordinator. The superintendent may also designate secondary LEA CAASPP coordinators and secondary LEA ELPAC coordinators. In addition, the Designate Users function allows the superintendent to add the LEA’s special education coordinator and technology coordinator as contacts.
Once designated, LEA coordinators have the primary responsibility for adding more TOMS users, including site coordinator roles. Site coordinators, in turn, can add additional site-level users such as test administrators and test examiners.
To access the View and Edit Users screen, select the [Users] navigation tab from the top navigation bar (figure 1).
