Please note: Operoo will no longer support new versions of SIMS after July 31, 2023. Specifically, this will end support for the integration between Operoo and SIMS. If you are using the 2-way SyncMonkey integration, please contact the Support Team who will help and guide you through migrating your integration from SyncMonkey to Wonde.
Operoo's sync tool for SIMS uses a SIMS user account.
The user account must have the required permissions to read and write certain information to and from SIMS.
SIMS USER ACCOUNT
We recommend that the school IT administrator create a new SIMS user account specifically for the Operoo SIMS Sync Agent.
This new SIMS user account should have full administrator privileges for SIMS.
The only way to check user permissions in SIMS is to log into SIMS on the customer's computer.
This article shows you how to check if the user account has the required permissions.
- Lookup table access
- Ability to modify student details
- Ability to access staff details
If the school also wants to sync pre-admissions information then the following additional permissions are required.
- Ability to read pre-admissions details
- Ability to read the contact relationships of pre-admissions records
1. Log into SIMS as the Operoo SIMS user (CMUser)
Ask the school to log into SIMS on their computer using the SIMS User Account set up for Operoo.
2. Remote Desktop
At this point, it would be easier to do a remote session to the user's computer so you can see their screen.
