Users: Overview

All users must be added to TOMS during each test administration year. Prior to any roles being assigned, the superintendent must complete the steps to create a TOMS account. Once the account has been created, the superintendent designates the primary LEA CAASPP coordinator and the primary LEA ELPAC coordinator. The superintendent may also designate additional LEA CAASPP coordinators and additional LEA ELPAC coordinators. In addition, the Designate Users section allows the superintendent to add the LEA’s special education coordinator and technology coordinator as contacts.

Once designated, LEA coordinators have the primary responsibility for adding more TOMS users, including test site coordinator roles. Site coordinators, in turn, can add additional site-level users such as test administrators and test examiners.

To access the Users screen, select the [Users] navigation tab from the top navigation bar (figure 1).
