To maintain the integrity of trust-based governance structures within MATs, I recommend removing the ability for school-level administrators to archive MAT Admins within the Every platform.
Rationale:
Governance Hierarchy: MAT Admins typically hold strategic oversight across multiple schools. Allowing school-level users to archive these accounts undermines the governance model and risks disrupting trust-wide operations.
Data Continuity & Accountability: Archiving a MAT Admin could inadvertently sever access to critical trust-wide data, workflows, and compliance records. This poses a risk to operational continuity and audit trails.
Safeguarding Central Oversight: MAT Admins often manage policies, contracts, and compliance frameworks that span all schools. Their visibility and access should be protected from local-level changes.
Preventing Misuse or Error: School-level users may not fully understand the implications of archiving a MAT Admin, especially in larger trusts. Restricting this action helps prevent accidental or unauthorised changes.
Recommendation:
Please implement a permission safeguard that ensures only trust-level administrators (e.g., Super Admins or designated MAT-level roles) have the ability to archive or deactivate MAT Admin accounts.
