School Admin — overview & checklist

Role: school_admin. You have full control of one school tenant: people, academics, fees, Approvals (checker), and Admin Settings.

Compared to others: Accountant runs the fee counter but cannot clear Approvals. Principal / VP lead academics without Account Section. See Who does what.
