MESO has two roles: an ordinary member, and an administrator. There is no head-of-department tier, no read-only observer, and no per-subject permission.

What being an administrator changes

Exactly two extra tabs in Settings. Everything else is identical. Members is where invitations and signup codes live. Cohort is where activation figures live. That is the whole of the administrative surface.

What an administrator cannot do

Administrators cannot see another teacher’s work. Units, lesson plans, assessments, resources, uploaded documents and MESO Assist conversations are private to the teacher who created them, and there is no view, export or support route that lifts that.
Concretely, an administrator cannot:
  • open or read a colleague’s unit, lesson or assessment
  • see what anyone has asked MESO Assist
  • read documents a teacher has uploaded to their library
  • reassign one teacher’s planning to another
  • sign in as another teacher
Administration in MESO is about getting people onto the platform and seeing that they got there — not about oversight of teaching. If you are looking for a school-wide view of planning, it does not exist yet; see Rolling out MESO.

Changing who is an administrator

The administrator flag is set by MESO, not from within the Members tab. To add or remove one, write to contact@mesolab.ai.
