Before adding anyone, it's worth knowing what each of the five roles on Wise can actually see and do. Learners and Parents are scoped to their own enrollment; the three staff roles — Instructor, Admin, and Super Admin (the newest tier) — stack on top of each other, each one a superset of the last.

  • Student — only sees the courses, content, and sessions allocated to them. Cannot see their teacher's email or phone. Whether they can see their own course billing depends on institute configuration.
  • Parent — sees everything their child/student sees. If they have multiple children enrolled with the institute, they see all of their children and billing plans in one place.
  • Instructor — teaches assigned courses or students. Cannot see student or parent email/phone.
  • Admin — can do everything an Instructor can, plus add or remove courses, students, and instructors, and see user email/phone and institute analytics.
  • Super Admin — can do everything an Admin can, plus edit Institute Settings and access the Finance tab.

A dash (—) means that capability doesn't apply to that role rather than it being explicitly denied. Payment gateway integration and platform billing with Wise sit outside every institute-side role — even Super Admin — and are handled directly by the Wise team.
