# Lena for Schools

> What school admins do in Lena for Schools, where to find each page, and what each admin role can do.

Lena for Schools is where the people who run a school set it up and keep it running. You add your school's
structure, bring in students and lecturers, choose who else helps you run it, and see how students are using Lena.
Lecturers teach in [Lena for Teachers](https://support.lena.africa/teachers/overview.md) and students learn in
[Lena for Students](https://support.lena.africa/students/overview.md); all three use the same Lena account.

Open it at [school.lena.africa](https://school.lena.africa).

The dashboard at Crestview University, with the Get started checklist at the foot of the sidebar.

## A quick tour

* **Dashboard** shows "How students use Lena": active students, web and mobile sessions this week, and how many
  enrolled students are engaged. The figures can be up to an hour behind.
* **User directory**: **Students**, **Lecturers** and **Directory Settings**.
* **School**: **Faculty Management** for your structure, and **Courses** to see every published course.
* **Admin Management**, for a Superadmin, to invite the people who run the school with you.
* **Invite lecturer**, at the top of the sidebar, invites a lecturer. Its arrow also offers **Invite student** and, for a
  Superadmin, **Invite admin**.
* **Search** (<kbd>⌘</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd> or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> <kbd>K</kbd>) finds pages, actions and people.
* The school name at the top switches between schools you help run, or adds another.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The words follow your kind of school. A K-12 school sees **Teachers**, **Grade Management** and **Subjects**; other
> schools see **Instructors** and **Cohort Management**. See [words your school
> uses](https://support.lena.africa/get-started/words-your-school-uses.md).

## Who can do what

| | Superadmin | Academic admin | Non-academic admin |
| - | - | - | - |
| Dashboard | Yes | Yes | Yes, without "How students use Lena" |
| Students and lecturers | Yes | Yes | No |
| Directory Settings | Yes | Yes | No |
| Structure (Faculty Management) | Yes | Yes | No |

The person who created the school is its **owner**. Only the owner can change the school's details, hand the school to
someone else or delete it. You only see the pages your role can use. See
[admins and roles](https://support.lena.africa/schools/admins.md).
