# Create Administrator Accounts
> Create and configure District Admin and School Admin accounts in Pear Assessment with the correct role permissions
District Admins and School Admins can create additional administrator accounts for their district or school. The account type you hold determines which new accounts you can create and what permissions those accounts carry.
## Administrator Account Types
The accounts you can create depend on your own role.
A District Admin can create the following accounts:
* Other district admins
* School admins
* Teachers
* Students
A School Admin can create the following accounts:
* Other school admins
* Teachers
* Students
## Create a School Administrator Account
1. In the navigation menu, go to **Manage District** or **Manage School**.
2. Click **Users**.
3. Click the **District Admin**, **School Admin**, **Teachers**, or **Students** sub-tab.
4. Click **Add School Admin**.
5. Fill out the required information.
## Create a District Administrator Account
1. Click **Manage District**.
2. Click **Users**.
3. Click the **District Admin** sub-tab.
4. Click **Add District Admin**.
5. Fill out the required information.
6. Select the role type:
* **Super Admin**: Grants access to district or school settings.
* **Insights-Only Role**: Grants access to insights and assessment data for the district only. These users cannot access user information, assignments, or district settings.
* **Dual Role Admin and Teacher Account**: Use the [Add/Switch Account](/products/pear-assessment/add-switch-account) feature when a teacher also serves as an admin, such as a team lead or instructional coach.
Use a different email address or username for the admin account to avoid duplicate account conflicts. The email address used in Pear Assessment does not need to be an active email. For example, use `jsmith@district.k12.us` for the teacher account and `adminjsmith@district.k12.us` for the admin account.
### Change a Teacher Account to an Admin Account
If a user already has a teacher account and needs to be added as an admin, deactivate the existing account before creating the new admin account.
1. On the **Users** tab, select the teacher account by placing a checkmark next to the name.
2. In the drop-down menu on the right, select **Deactivate**.
3. Follow the steps in [Create a District Administrator Account](#create-a-district-administrator-account) to add the user in their new role.
Deactivating a teacher account permanently removes the user's previous data, including all assessments from their private account. If the teacher needs to retain their data and assessments, contact support before deactivating.
