Arthur, I don't think you responded to some of the questions I asked in an earlier email which were designed to help me give some advice: 1. Can you be more explicit about what you mean by admin status? Do you mean a WebPA Administrator or just a teacher? 2. Which version of WebPA are you using?

Click on the pencil for the student in question and you should be able to see User type information in the second row.
