In Knowt, you can add teachers to join your class as a co-owner, contributor, or viewer (default role).

Adding viewers is free, but please note that the contributor and co-owner roles are currently only available through the Teacher Plus plan.

What’s the difference between each role?

Owner

This is you, the sole original owner of the class!

Co-Owner

Co-owners have permission to make any edits in the class, including managing settings, changing users’ roles, and removing students. However, they will not be able to delete the class.

Contributor

Contributors will have the ability to create and delete their own files in the class.

Viewer

Viewers will only be able to view class files and class progress.
