Severe threats are often time-sensitive, which is why we recommend that an alternate reviewer (like a principal or school psychologist) is added for each school or district.
The Bark Super Admin or OU Admin for your school/district can invite, edit, or remove Reviewers.
Inviting Reviewers
Log in as the Bark for Schools super admin or OU admin.
Navigate to the top right drop-down menu and select Reviewers.
Select Invite reviewer and include:

To assign all groups, ensure Access to all organizational units? is On.
To assign specific groups, ensure Access all organizational units? is toggled Off and now you can type in the applicable groups.
💡 Assigning a user to a top-level organizational unit or group does not grant access to its sub-groups. Each sub-group must be assigned to the Reviewer individually.

This permission allows the user to manage the settings for those within their assigned organizational unit(s).
Then, the Reviewer will receive an email invite.
Going forward they'll log into bark.us/schools with their school issued account — no additional username or password needed. Share the Reviewer's Guide with them for tips.
*Only existing Super Admins can grant Reviewers the Super Admin or OU Admin roles.

Bark for Schools+ Settings
Schools or districts with Bark for Schools+ have more customizable Reviewer settings than the free product. They can specify which types of alerts Reviewers get, choose what alerts they receive email notifications for, and choose whether they are an emergency phone contact for urgent alerts.
Visible means you will see alerts for that category on your dashboard. The alerts have to be visible for you to receive email notifications or emergency calls for them.
Notification will turn on email notifications for the alert type. We will send you email notifications (lower level alerts and severe alerts) for all alerts created in the category.
Severe Notification will turn on only severe email notifications for the abuse type.
Emergency will turn on text messages and phone calls for imminent threat situations. To adjust the order in which these Reviewers are called for emergency issues:
Click Manage emergency priority at the bottom of the page.
