B. User Accounts

 

AEI manages all user access to LACES through CDE’s Single Sign On page. At the start of the program year, each grant recipient will identify one staff person to be the local LACES System Administrator. LACES System Administrators have the highest level user permissions to the LACES database for their local program. They are also responsible for:

  1. Requesting LACES user accounts for any other staff at their local program, and identifying which user role/permissions each staff persons should be assigned.
    • To request a user account for a staff person, the LACES System Administrator must send an email to their AEI Program Coordinator. The request email must include the following information:
      • First name
      • Last name
      • Email address
        • NOTE: AEI discourages the use of personal email addresses for use in creating LACES user accounts. AEI strongly recommends using work/employer-provided email addresses for user accounts in or der to maximize security of learner data.
      • User role/permissions
    • To locate a list of user roles and their associated permissions, please see the LACES User Account Mapping Instructions below. The AEI team will process user account requests within 72 hours of receipt during regular CDE business hours.
    • All staff persons set up with LACES access will receive a LACES User Account “Getting Started” email from AEI with login instructions.  The local program LACES System Administrator will be copied on this email.
  2. Completing “User Account Mapping” for any staff person assigned Teacher I, Teacher II, Teacher III or Teacher IV user roles. This additional step is required for these user accounts to work properly given their restricted permissions in LACES. The user account mapping step ensures each Teacher-level user account can only view and update the specific classes in the database which the LACES System Administrator would like them to have access to. See the information below for instructions on how to map user accounts to staff in LACES.
  3. Notifying their AEI Program Coordinator to disable user accounts for staff no longer working under the grant-funded adult education program.
  4. Ensuring that staff using LACES have been trained in both state and local data reporting requirements and procedures.
