There has been some confusion between the differences regarding an "Admin user" and the CMTS Admin program.

Lab managers can log into both the CMTS Logon and CMTS Admin programs.  (They can add students, subjects, teachers, run reports, manually edit time entries, etc).

However, there are some functions that can only be done by users designated as Admin level users.  (These functions include setting up the 9 and 6 week calendars, editing the campus names, adding/editing other users, setting up help level descriptions, etc).

In most cases, a district using the CMTS will have several labs and a lab manager assigned (in the CMTS) to each lab.  Additonally, there is also usually an Admin user (most of the time this is someone at the main district office).  If you see something in the CMTS help file that references ADMIN USERS ONLY, this means that you will only have access to that functionality if you are assgned as an Admin user.

In some cases, especially if that district only has one lab using the CMTS, the same person that is the lab manager is also assigned as the Admin user.  They can still use their lab manager credentials to log into the CMTS Admin program, but to access the Admin functionality, they are also given a second set of credentials to log in with (usually the second log in has _ADMIN appeneded to the prefix of their email address.  For example, if JOHN.DOE@SCHOOL.COM is there lab manager log in, then JOHN.DOE_ADMIN@SCHOOL.COM is set up as their admin user credentials).

If you are the only lab using the software in your district, you probably are also set up as the Admin user for the district.  If more than one lab in your district is using the CMTS, then the admin user is probably someone at the main district office.

As always, please feel free to contact us with any questions or for more information.
