Quick tip
Why should administrator permissions be reviewed regularly?
Reviewing administrator access helps protect your school’s ClickView environment by ensuring only the right staff can manage users, integrations, and content settings. Regular checks are especially important after staff role changes or at the start of a new school year to maintain security and accountability.

Administrator roles and access

#Users with an elevated permission set are designated as administrators in ClickView. Admin access is granted through a tick box in the user management screen or by Single Sign-On (SSO) if supported by your school or multi-academy trust. If your organisation does not currently have a ClickView administrator and you would like more information, please contact Product Support.

How to access administrator options

  1. Sign in to your ClickView account.
  2. Select your name in the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Click on ‘Settings’ to open the admin options panel.
    Cursor hovering over the Settings option under the account profile

Overview of administrator controls

The admin options panel provides access to several key features:

ClickView Administrator Settings

User management

ClickView User management menu

The user management suite enables administrators who do not use SSO to manage users, assign year groups, and perform bulk actions. You can also control SSO year group mapping settings for each year group.

School management

ClickView School management menu

Administrators can choose the default video playback resolution (from 480p to 1080p). This option is typically set up once.

My account

ClickView My account menu

The ‘My Account’ menu lets users update personal details, manage security, notifications, privacy settings, subscriptions, billing, and linked accounts.

Integrations (including Single Sign-On)

ClickView Integrations menu

If your organisation uses SSO, administrators can review and update specific year group codes as needed—for example, when year mappings change. ClickView integrates with a variety of learning management systems and library cataloguing tools via LTI, RSS, and custom apps.

Video security

ClickView Video security menu

The ‘Video Security’ menu allows you to manage who can view videos, restrict content to specific groups, and review content and restrictions to maintain security.

Library Editor

In addition to the admin options panel, schools can create and curate a custom video library using Library Editor. Administrators have access to Library Editor if this feature is enabled at your school.

Frequently asked questions

Administrators can manage users, set playback defaults, control video security, and access Library Editor if enabled.
If using SSO, year group codes can be reviewed and updated in the admin panel when needed.
