Why are the Special Entry roles on the public homepage?

By design — these 10 roles need to operate without ever opening the admin environment. Putting their entry on the public homepage means a librarian, bursar, photo-capture clerk or roll-call officer signs straight into their dedicated console and never has contact with the admin window. It physically protects the admin from accidental clicks and from staff curiosity.

Do Special Entry users have admin privileges?

No. Each role is scoped to exactly the data and actions it needs — the bursar sees fees, the librarian sees books, the HR hours officer sees hours but never salary rates. The admin environment is a separate, protected window.

How does a staff member sign in?

The school admin generates a Special Access Code, gives it to the staff member, and they sign in via /special on the public homepage — same simplicity, zero exposure to admin.

Why are these roles entered from the public homepage, not from inside admin? Because that's exactly the point — staff never touch the admin environment. The admin window is shielded by design.
