# System Users

## Control who can access your K12Panel organization and what each user can do, using OAuth logins and role-based permissions.

### System Users

K12Panel uses OAuth2 for authentication, so every system user must sign in with a Google or Microsoft login. That can be a basic personal address (such as an @gmail or @outlook account) or a Google Workspace / Microsoft 365 managed account.

On the System Users tab you can add users, remove users, and change the role of existing users.

### SuperAdmin

One user is the organization’s designated **SuperAdmin**. The SuperAdmin role cannot be changed by other users — even other Admins — and the SuperAdmin cannot be deleted. The SuperAdmin has no special powers over a normal Admin in day-to-day work, except that they alone designate who is a Budgeter and they can’t be removed or altered by others.

### Budgeter

**Budgeter** is a special designation that can be added to any user regardless of role. A Budgeter can use the Budgeting module. Only the SuperAdmin can designate who is a Budgeter.

### Roles

Roles are cumulative — each higher role includes the abilities of the ones below it. Reporter is the most restricted; Admin has full control.

Note: adding and removing K12Panel system users is an Admin-level capability. Lower roles cannot manage who can sign in to the organization.

### Common Questions

**What logins are allowed?**  
Google or Microsoft OAuth accounts — personal or managed.

**Who can add or remove users?**  
Admins. Managing system users is an Admin-level capability.

**What makes the SuperAdmin special?**  
It can’t be deleted or changed by others, and only it can designate Budgeters.

**What is a Budgeter?**  
A flag (set only by the SuperAdmin) that lets any user, of any role, use the Budgeting module.

**Are roles cumulative?**  
Yes — each higher role includes everything the roles below it can do.
