Yes, the main school administrator has the capability of setting what other users, teachers or other administrators can access. To accomplish this, Kiwiversity uses profiles to simplify and control user's experiences. Profiles define the access that users will have in Kiwiversity.

When you create and deploy a new profile for a group of users, they will see, in Kiwiversity, the features, menu items and modules that you have defined in this profile.
