Staff resources allow administrators to upload view-only files and share them with staff members in Playground. Resources are used to make important documents available for staff to reference without requiring a form submission or file upload.

The process for setting up and maintaining staff resources closely mirrors student resources. If you are already familiar with sharing view-only files with guardians, the steps and options will feel very similar.


Upload a New Resource

  1. From the Admin Dashboard, navigate to Staff Paperwork and then click Resources.

  2. Click the blue Create button and then click View only resource.

  3. Name your resource, add a description, and upload the file.

  4. Click the blue Create Resource button to save the resource.

💡 By default, view-only resources are visible to all staff. Click here to learn how to edit the recipients of a view-only resource.


Edit Recipients of a Resource

  1. Go to the Resources tab of the Staff Paperwork screen.

  2. Click the three dots next to the resource you’d like to edit.

  3. Select Edit recipients.

  4. Choose who can view and complete the resource. The default is Everyone, meaning all staff in your dashboard will have access.

  5. To change who can access the resource, you’ll first need to remove the default sharing setting.

  6. Click the trash can icon to unshare the resource from all staff.


  7. Once the default sharing is removed, select the individual staff members who should have access to the resource.


  8. Click the Share button to save your changes and apply the updated access settings.
