Introducing the Admin Portal
Amplify has launched a new Admin Portal to streamline your enrollment experience. All staff can access it through my.amplify.com, and district enrollment administrators can use it to batch upload or manually create and manage rosters, add and view Amplify program access, and provide Admin Report access. Your Customer Success partners will work with you to verify successful rostering and to help complete your setup.
Batch upload
Batch upload gives you the convenience of adding or updating your staff, student, and class rosters through a single CSV file* that you upload directly into the Admin Portal. After our secure servers process your rosters, you can also view them in the Admin Portal.
Once activated for your district, batch upload is available year-round. If you’re returning to Amplify and using the Admin Portal to roster this year, your Enrollment and Licensing partner will walk you through migration and setup.
*A second CSV file can be used to upload student demographics for aggregate reporting.
Create and manage roster data
If you prefer to manually roster your staff and students in Amplify programs, you can do so directly through the Admin Portal. You can create new Amplify accounts for your students, teachers, and support or administrative staff. You can also add schools and classes, and roster your staff and students into them.
Add and view Amplify
program access
Administrators can manage program access and view the programs accessible to every teacher and student in the district. Simply select a teacher or student in the Admin Portal to view the full list of their assigned programs. When they need access to additional programs, you can easily add a program and save your updates. If you update your rosters after the digital setup call, Amplify will automatically process and grant access to your programs within 24 hours.
Provide Admin Reports access to staff members
Using the Admin Portal, you can grant Admin Reports access to other staff members in your district. Note that these staff members must be rostered in the school or district organization and have access to the Amplify program for the Admin Reports they want to view.

Please note that the CSV files used in mCLASS Self-Service Enrollment (SSE) and Auto SSE will not be compatible with the Admin Portal for the 2022–23 school year. If you are a returning mCLASS-only customer, you should continue enrolling staff, students, and classes via mCLASS enrollment.OneRoster CSV
The Admin Portal will support OneRoster CSV enrollment. If you uploaded OneRoster CSVs through the Amplify Enrollment Portal this year, in 2022–23, you will share your files through the Admin Portal using Amplify OneRoster CSV Upload.Simple and Structured CSV
The use of Simple CSVs and Structured CSVs will be extended for an additional year, but these enrollment files will not be submitted through the Admin Portal. For the 2022–23 school year, you can continue to share these CSV files with Amplify manually via Egnyte. Following the 2022–23 school year, this option will be retired. - Getting started

Permissions
All staff who have a district account registered with Amplify can view enrollment data in the Admin Portal: IT managers, administration, and teachers. With your guidance, Amplify will designate one system access administrator who will have the ability to manage permissions for other staff.
