Staff Kiosk Ghosting Video

How to 'Ghost' into another user's Staff Kiosk using the 'Ghosting' option in the Staff Kiosk toolbar.

This video introduces the concept of ghosting in Staff Kiosk, explaining how authorised users can temporarily operate as another staff member to view their timetable and access permitted information. It demonstrates how ghosting is accessed via the user menu, how available users are determined by school security permissions, and how the interface updates to reflect the ghosted user’s details. The video also outlines important limitations, including restricted access to confidential payroll information, and clarifies that any correspondence generated while ghosting will still be sent in the name of the original logged-in user. Finally, it shows how to exit ghosting and return to your own Staff Kiosk homepage.

This video refers to the ‘Teacher Kiosk’ portal, which has since been renamed ‘Staff Kiosk.’
