We’re thrilled to have you on board. Setting up your Illumine account is quick and seamless — the initial setup takes just 15–20 minutes. Let’s get you up and running.

First things first.

Step 1: Install the Mobile App & Set Up Roles and Permissions

1. Access Your Illumine Web Account

Start by logging into your Illumine account from your desktop or laptop. We recommend bookmarking the login page for easy access in the future.

2. Download the Illumine Mobile App

Install the Illumine mobile app on your phone to manage operations on the go. Staff and parents will also use these apps to access their respective accounts.

3. Customize Your School Profile

From your left-hand menu:

Go to: Settings → School Details (click here)
Fill in the essential information:

  • School/Center Name

  • Address & Contact Info

  • Upload your Logo

  • (Optional) Add Bank Account Details — even dummy data is fine — to explore the Billing & Payments features.

4. Set Up Staff Roles and Access Control

Defining staff access levels ensures data security and smooth operation.

Go to: Settings → Access Control System

Here’s what you can do:

  • Assign existing roles (e.g., Teacher, Admin, Center Head) to each staff member.

  • Define module-wise access for each role (e.g., Attendance, Billing, Communication).

  • Create custom roles with tailored permissions for different responsibilities.

🎯 Pro Tip: Set roles before adding staff to ensure accurate permission mapping during onboarding.

✅ Ready for the Next Steps?

Once your app is installed and roles are configured, you’re all set to move forward with adding classrooms, staff, and students.
