Authorized Contacts

Authorized Contacts are designated individuals who serve as the primary communication link between your district and Infinite Campus. A strong internal support structure, anchored by well-trained Authorized Contacts, is essential to ensuring timely, secure, and effective support.

Key components of your support structure:

Building Coaches – Assist with basic “how-to” questions and support end users locally.
Campus Community™ – A self-service resource offering documentation, training, and peer collaboration.
Authorized Contacts – Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues, and escalate cases to Infinite Campus when needed.

Purpose and Importance of Authorized Contacts

Authorized Contacts are the only individuals permitted to initiate or manage interactions with Infinite Campus via the Support Case Portal or toll-free support line.

This designation plays a critical role in:

Protecting your district’s software, data, and student privacy.
Ensuring accountability by allowing only approved personnel to submit questions, report issues, or request changes.
Maintaining secure, consistent communication between your district and Infinite Campus.
Supporting efficient case resolution by working with trained, knowledgeable contacts who understand district context and product functionality.

Types of Authorized Contacts

There are two distinct types of Authorized Contacts, each with a specific role. Districts are responsible for selecting and training these individuals on local policies and product use. It is recommended that Authorized Contacts have the proper tool rights to effectively troubleshoot issues.

Troubleshoot: Work with end users to identify and resolve product issues.

Qualify Issues: Gather replication steps and detailed descriptions.

In addition to the responsibilities of the Authorized Support Contact, Authorized Technical Contacts are expected to discuss and resolve issues relating to:

Server configuration and error logging
Sandbox Refresh
Requesting a Campus Version Update
Firewall and local network configurations
Customer connectivity
ODBC and access connections
Other technical-related matters

Authorized Contact Allocation

To ensure effective support and streamlined communication, Infinite Campus recommends the following contact structure for each district:

Two Authorized Support Contacts for day-to-day functional support.
One Authorized Technical Contact for technical oversight and non-production environment refreshes/update requests.

Additional Authorized Contacts may be approved based on the size of the district and the number of licensed add-on products. While expanding the list of Authorized Contacts can enhance support coverage and operational flexibility, access should be limited to those who require it. This approach helps safeguard sensitive data and reduces potential risk.

Infinite Campus does not restrict who can be designated as an Authorized Contact. However, every user must be properly licensed to access and use our software.

Districts are not permitted to allow third parties to use or support our software without prior written authorization. If a third party intends to support a district using Infinite Campus, they must first complete a Limited License Agreement. This ensures compliance with our licensing terms and protects the integrity of our system.

To request access for a third party and initiate the Limited License Agreement process, please submit a “Modify Support Contact” case through the support portal.

If you're unsure who your district’s Authorized Contacts are:

Security & Access

Authorized Contacts are established to protect your district's software, data, and student privacy. They are the only staff members authorized to submit questions, issues, and requests to Infinite Campus.

Only Authorized Contacts may submit or manage cases.
Unauthorized individuals will be redirected to their district’s Authorized Contact.
- In emergencies, a case may be created under an existing Authorized Contact.
- If a non-authorized staff member needs to join a support call, the Authorized Contact must coordinate and be present.

Important: Authorized Contacts must not share their login credentials or encourage non-authorized staff to contact Campus Support. This helps maintain secure access, protect sensitive data, and ensure that all support interactions are handled by trained, approved personnel.

Inactivity & Account Deactivation

To maintain security and proper access control, Authorized Contact accounts that remain inactive for 180 consecutive days will be flagged for deactivation. An account is considered inactive if it has not logged into the Support Case Portal, had a case created for them by Infinite Campus, or performed any case-related activities within the past 180 days.

Process for Account Deactivation

Accounts are continuously monitored for activity.
After 180 days of inactivity, an automated email will notify the Authorized Contact of a pending deactivation. The account will be deactivated if no activity occurs within the following 30 days.
- A reminder email will be sent midway through the deactivation period.
- A final notification will be sent one day before deactivation.
- If no login occurs after 210 days of inactivity, the account will be deactivated.

To restore access, an active Authorized Contact from the district must submit a "Modify Support Contact" case requesting reactivation.

When an Authorized Contact Leaves Your District

To maintain secure access to your district’s portal, submit a "Modify Support Contact" case when an Authorized Contact leaves the district. This ensures their account is properly deactivated and that only current, approved contacts can view and manage district information.
