FAQ
Which user roles are right for my colleagues?
Assign one or more of the following roles to your colleagues so they can access the reporting portal.
SAT Suite Ord/Reg Access Manager Role: People with this role are access managers. They use the Managing Access tool to assign reporting roles to colleagues—and themselves—so they can get scores in the online reporting portal. Access managers can also assign others to the Access Management/DAT role, allowing for coverage if the primary access manager is unavailable or leaves the institution.
For access to the reporting portal, assign other roles as well.

Tips:
- Each role is independent, and some colleagues need more than one role.
- The SAT Suite Ord/Reg Access Manager role only provide access to the Managing Access Tool. If you also need access to SAT Suite Ordering and Registration (SSOR), you need to assign yourself the SAT Suite ordering, data coordinator, and/or registration role.
- You can set up and maintain unlimited users but be sure to manage accounts as people join and leave your organization. We recommend setting an appropriate expiration date such as the end of a school year. Make sure to extend access when needed for individuals who will support SAT Suite ordering and registration year-over-year.
People with the roles above provide access to SAT Suite Ordering and Registration. Other contacts for communications and test day-related activities will be collected through the ordering process by individuals assigned with the SAT Suite ordering role (required contacts differ between schools and districts):
- Billing Contact: This contact receives billing-related communications, including invoices after testing.
- Principal: This contact receives important email communications related to testing.
- Test Coordinators (one for each test ordered: SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9): This contact is the primary test coordinator for each test and receives important emails, training, and test day resources. This role must be performed by someone who will be on site at the school on test day. They are responsible for the overall test administration.
- Technology Coordinators (one for each test ordered: SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT and PSAT 10, and PSAT 8/9): The technology coordinator must have the expertise and permissions to configure the network and prepare testing devices (or manage staff who do). Learn more about their responsibilities.
