Step 3. Create a Hāpara Admin account.
Hāpara requires a user with specific Admin role permissions (ie., Groups Admin and User Management).
We recommend creating a separate, non-human user, that is not linked to any real person. This avoids potential loss of Hāpara functionality in the event of a human account being suspended or deactivated or having Admin privileges restricted.
First, create a Hāpara Admin user:
- Open admin.google.com.
- Navigate to Directory > Users.
- Click Add new user.
- Enter Name and email details.
- Click Manage user’s password, organizational unit and profile photo.
- Store this user in an Organizational Unit with the Hāpara Marketplace app installed. E.g., staff, faculty, admin, tech.
- Click Add new user.
- Click Done.
Next, assign custom admin privileges to this new account:
Note: If students use a different domain (or sub-domain) and no Google Super Admin exists for that domain, you can temporarily grant Super Admin access to this account during setup, then remove the elevated permissions once setup is complete. Make sure to note the password for this account if you plan to use it for this purpose.
- Locate the new user you just created.
- Under the Admin roles and privileges menu, click ASSIGN ROLES.
- Toggle the roles Groups Admin and User Management to Assigned.
- Click Save.
