Pathshala separates access by role so teachers, accountants, and principals each see what they need.

Built-in roles

  • Principal — Full visibility across students, fees, attendance, and reports.
  • Admin — Day-to-day configuration: classes, users, imports, and communications.
  • Accountant — Fee plans, invoices, payments, receipts, and defaulter reports.
  • Teacher — Class rosters and daily attendance for assigned sections.
  • Parent — (Where enabled) Child-specific attendance and fee visibility.

Signing in

Use the URL provided during onboarding. Each school is a separate tenant — your data is never mixed with another school’s.
